During a Mahashivaratri event, Manoj Parmar, National President of the Akhil Bharatiya Balai Mahasangh, delivered a threatening speech and asserted, “if you want to live in India, you have to say Vande Mataram.” He warned that “whoever talks about breaking India into pieces, we will break them into pieces,” and declared that those who refuse to comply must “go back to the land your ancestors, Akbar, Babar and Aurangzeb came from.” He further stated, “from whichever house Afzal comes, we will enter their home and kill them,” issuing a direct threat of violence.
