Pravin Togadia, founder and president of AHP–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, claimed that Hindus have existed since the beginning of time, calling them direct descendants of God. He administered an oath and asserted that the Hindu religion and the idea of a “Hindu Rashtra” were created by God. He alleged that 2,000 years ago Hindus inhabited the entire world, claiming their decline was due to “loot, conversions, and displacement.” He fearmongered about the declining Hindu population, claiming that wherever Hindus have declined, they have been killed. He declared that they would maintain a “Hindu majority” through law or by force. He demanded a population control law and the expulsion of three crore Bangladeshis, and promoted the campaign “3 bache hindu sache.” He urged Hindus to buy from and employ only Hindus, and further asserted that Hindus would be “the ones to beat and win.” Another leader, Munish Bhardwaj, claimed that after Friday prayers, crowds begin rioting. He alleged that Friday prayers are not religious but are used to mobilise and train people to riot against Hindus, and claimed that Hanuman Chalisa centres are the only way to counter Friday prayers and what he described as a riot-inciting community.
