At a Hindu Sammelan, far-right monk Swami Sachchidanand engaged in fearmongering over the Muslim population, referring to them as “We are five, we have seventy; and everyone has a brick or a stone in their hand.” He falsely claimed that C-section births were part of a Muslim conspiracy to reduce the Hindu population. He urged Hindus with fewer than four children to “die out of shame.” He further claimed that letters would be delivered to Hindu households demanding conversion to Islam or threatening beheading. He called for an economic and social boycott of Muslims and cited attacks against Rohingyas in Myanmar as an inspiration. He also called for “ghar wapsi” of those he claimed had converted earlier, and accused Christian missionaries of carrying out religious conversions, particularly among Adivasis, through inducements.
