Manoj Parmar, National President of the Akhil Bharatiya Balai Mahasangh, speaking at an Anand Aarti and Bhajan Sandhya event organised on the occasion of Chaudas, criticised people in India mourning Iran’s Ali Khamenei’s death, alleging that their loyalty lies with Arab nations. He also fearmongered about the Muslim population in the country, claiming they make others “wear salwars in the nook of the sword.” He opposed the idea of communal brotherhood, asserting that brotherhood exists with humans, not “animals,” claiming Hindus feed cows rotis while Muslims “eat cows with a roti.” He demanded that those mourning Khamenei be sent to Iran, claiming that anyone conspiring against the nation should be sent back to where their ancestors came from. Referring to them as “vidharmi” and “snakes in the grass,” he alleged that they detest Hindu traditions and culture and think only about violence and terrorism.
