During a Hindu Sammelan organised to mark the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), far-right monk Yati Narsinghanand Giri demanded gun licences for Hindus and fearmongered about an alleged decline in the Hindu population, claiming that a comparable Muslim event would have crowded the entire city. He alleged that Muslims have conspired to trap Hindu women, kill Hindu men, and take over India, and falsely claimed that Prophet Mohammad destroyed the temple in Mecca, killed those who did not convert, and sold women, asking, “Do you think they will spare your sisters?” He warned that Muslims would rule India due to rapid population growth and predicted that a Muslim Prime Minister by 2029 or 2034 would destroy the Ram Mandir and the Dasna Devi temple, which he said exposed the “truth of Islam.” He also criticised the new UGC Bill, calling it a plan to enslave Hindus, alleging it was funded by Arab countries to remove Hindus as an obstacle to “Islamification.” Claiming that the government had pushed Hindus into a civil war instead of uniting them against Islam, he urged Hindus to accumulate weapons, asserting that they had no alternative.
