At a meeting with long-time Hindu nationalist workers, Praveen Togadia—President of the AntarRashtriya Hindu Parishad and Rashtriya Bajrang Dal—demonized Muslims, claiming they have too many children and that mosques never help the poor. He contrasted Friday namaz with the Hanuman Chalisa recitations organized by his outfit, framing Islam as a threat to Hindu practices. His rhetoric pushed anti-Muslim stereotypes and framed religious practices as mutually oppositional, reinforcing communal divisions.
