At a VHP-Bajrang Dal meeting, Organising General Secretary Milind Parande delivered an anti-Christian speech opposing religious conversions, comparing missionaries to “demons” and alleging they lure poor Hindus with money and inducements. Invoking the mythological figure Putna, he claimed they “poison” society and urged vigilance against “rakshas” seeking to destroy dharma. He also condemned cattle slaughter, arguing that worshipping Nandi is meaningless without actively defending the faith. BJP leader Kamaru Ajnar called for a social boycott of villagers he alleged had converted to Christianity. He warned those who chant “hallelujah on Sundays” that they would be buried in “Patal Lok” (hell). He further declared that Adivasis who had embraced Christianity were enemies of the community, terming it a “disease.”
