Hindu nationalist Adivasi leader Nisha Bhagat, speaking at a Hanuman Janmostav organised by the VHP–Bajrang Dal, delivered an anti-Christian speech in which she claimed that Christians follow “dalals (brokers) from the Church” and are attempting to hijack the country through religious conversion while erasing Indian culture and civilisation. She further declared that only those who worship the earth and call it their “mother” could be considered their own, asserting that Muslims and Christians are unable to do so.
