At a press meet of the Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, founder Pravin Togadia invoked Babur to target Muslims, saying, “That Musalmaan Babar! Today we erased the names of those temple breakers,” and added, “We will never let descendants of Akbar and Humayun live in India.” He glorified the karseva movement, celebrated the demolition of the Babri Masjid—claiming, “We planted the saffron flag on Babri”—and paid tribute to those involved.
