RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhatt, speaking at the Brahmakalashotsava event, asked those who refuse to say “namaskar” to “Bharat Mata”, or chant “Vande Mataram”, to go to Pakistan. He invoked the Partition and the demand for Pakistan, and targeted Muslims in India, claiming that they have been preparing for 75 years to take over the country and asserting that they seek to achieve their goals through rioting or arson while increasing their population and criticised Hindus for family planning.
