Far-right monk Atmananda Saraswati Swami of the Samartha Sridharashrama Trust, in a speech at a religious gathering at his residence, repeatedly called for the killing of Muslims and Christians. He described all non-Sanatan religions as “devil’s groups” and urged Hindus to eliminate Muslims and Christians wherever possible, claiming they posed a threat to Hinduism. He went on to say that one Hindu should kill a thousand and declared that it would not be a sin. The police have filed an FIR against him for the speech.
