At a Hindu conference, VHP leader Hukumchand Chawla delivered a speech targeting Muslims. He used transphobic slurs to label Hindu MPs who voted against Waqf Board Amendment as “hijras.” He invoked religious symbolism, claiming that just like the gods once used weapons to destroy “adharm”, bulldozers should now be used for the same if needed. He also urges the Hindus to buy things only from Hindu businesses and makes false claims that non-Hindus use the money from Hindu purchases to kill Hindus in return.
