Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC – The Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) has strongly condemned the upcoming event in Dallas, Texas, on June 29 featuring Kajal Singhala, also known as Kajal Hindustani, a Hindu extremist leader from the Indian state of Gujarat with a long and well-documented history of delivering speeches inciting hate and violence against Christians and Muslims.
She is scheduled to speak at an event organised by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America (VHPA), the groups that have a long history of promoting anti-Muslim and anti-Christian hate.
IAMC called on the event organisers to immediately cancel this platforming of hate, and urged the wider Dallas community, including elected officials, interfaith leaders, and civil society organisations, to speak out against it.
Kajal Singhala has been described by the Indian news outlet The Quint as a symbol of “hate politics,” and research from India Hate Lab confirms her as one of the most prolific hate speakers in India in recent years. In 2023 alone, she delivered 35 in-person hate speeches, nine of which included explicit calls for violence. She has incited Hindus to pick up arms against Muslims and Christians and called for their economic and social boycotts.
In 2024, Singhala gave 23 hate speeches, including four with direct calls to violence, and 10 advocating for the economic boycott of Muslims, according to the recent India Hate Lab report.
