During an organisational meeting of the Bhairav Sena, its leader Dr. Rajiv Mahajan fearmongered about the Muslim population and claimed that crores of Bangladeshi immigrants have entered India. He asserted that Hindu immigrants would be considered refugees, while non-Hindus would be treated only as ‘ghuspaithiya’ (illegal infiltrators). He further alleged that Rohingyas have crossed seven states and are now living in large numbers in Kashmir. Another leader, Karan Sharma, declared that they would work to drive out ‘jihadis’ from Uttarakhand and warned people against alleged religious conversions.
