At the Sanatan Shakti Sammelan organised by Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha, Hindu nationalist poet Samiksha Singh termed Muslims “jihadis” and criticised the organisation for inviting a Muslim poet to an earlier event instead of Kshatriyas. She warned other castes that if Thakurs are dead, Muslims would “circumcise” their entire generations. Another poet, Ruchi Chaturvedi, claimed that “weapons and religious literature” are both important. Monk Shantanu Maharaj expressed his support for Nupur Sharma for her derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad. He glorified “Jauhar” and claimed that “communists” and “Muslims” had omitted it from history. Anti-reservation activist Rana Thakur peddled the conspiracy theory of “love jihad” and claimed that Muslims are categorised as OBCs in 12 states, claiming that if Muslims commit atrocities against and harass Kshatriya women, they would be helpless. Kunwar Haribansh Singh claimed that Muslims were forcefully converted from their caste and called for bringing them back. Kaushal Kishore Maharaj called for “freeing Krishna Janmabhoomi” from “Vidharmis”, citing the Ram temple.
