Bajrang Dal leader Vikas Verma targeted Muslims in his speech at the weekly Hanuman Chalisa event. He falsely claimed that mosques and madrasas in border areas are set up to facilitate the infiltration of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, whom he alleged Muslims consider as “brothers.” He accused them of “weakening and eating up the country like termites.” He also rebukes Hindus for sending their women to parlours, spa centres, and gyms owned by “jihadis.”
