During a protest by VHP-Bajrang Dal against “love jihad,” Durga Vahini leader Jyotipriya Sharma asserted that “one must chant ‘If you want to live in Hindustan, you must say ‘Vande Mataram,’’” alleging that Muslim women refuse to do so and warning that those who partake in the country’s resources must chant it. She claimed that Muslim women are engaging in “jihad” four times more than Muslim men. She asked the crowd who was responsible for “love jihad” and religious conversion, with the crowd responding, “Muslims.” She also recited a poem urging Hindus to arm themselves.
