At a Trishul Deeksha event organised by the VHP and Bajrang Dal, a speaker claimed that when Hindus remain unarmed, non-Hindus and attackers try to target the nation. He further declared that India is already a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ and that no one can prevent it from becoming one. During the event, attendees, including children, were handed trishuls and made to take an oath to serve as members of the Bajrang Dal.
