Far-right monk Madhuram Sharan Shiva, during a rally of the Shiv Shakti Akhada, delivered a speech against communal brotherhood. He criticised the “Jai Bhim-Jai Meem” slogan and falsely claimed that Muslims have engulfed those who chant “Jai Bhim” and are planning to establish an “Islamic State” in India. He also claimed that those who consume cow meat and those who rear cows can never be brothers.
