BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari referred to those raising slogans of “Jaali Hindu hatao, desh bachao” in a viral video as “jihadi’s child,” “Pakistan’s child,” and “Maulavadi’s child.” He claimed they were raising slogans to remove Hindus and declared that they would be taught a lesson. Citing the Partition, he asserted that India belongs to Hindus. He also targeted Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim for his remark that they could become a majority one day and said they would be dealt with as Yogi Adityanath would in 2026.
