At the Shivpratap Din event organized by Shiv Pratishthan Hindustan, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane delivered a speech laced with anti-Muslim rhetoric. Rane vowed to shut down slaughterhouses in Maharashtra, threatening those who violate cow slaughter laws with expulsion to Pakistan. He criticized the presence of “green chaddars” (Muslim religious offerings) on forts, questioning their right to Maharashtra and demonizing Muslims by referencing Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan. Additionally, he falsely claimed that a Hindutva worker “rescued” 12,000 women from Muslims in Kerala, labeling the state as “mini-Pakistan.”
