At a Virat Hindu Sammelan, Sachin Gaikwad accused Muslims of attacking police personnel and disrupting Hindu festivals. He spread the conspiracy of “love jihad,” accused actors Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan of promoting it, claimed that Hindus had neglected Hindutva before 2014, and warned that “Assalawalekum wale” would overtake Hindus in the future. He also urged parents to monitor their daughters’ phones to ensure that no “Javed or Salim” would “cut them up and put them in the fridge”.
