During a Ganpati statue reveal rally, Bajrang Dal leader Gautam Ravriya referred to Muslims living in the area as “Babar ki aulaade” and urged participants to chant “Jai Shri Ram” louder, claiming that Muslims ruined their festivals and that their eardrums should burst. Referring to restrictions on DJs, he said India should be governed by the Constitution rather than Sharia law and declared that “vidharmis” should not be allowed to dictate Hindu processions.
