At a tribute program at Adventist Higher Secondary School for a Class 10 student who died after being allegedly stabbed by a Muslim student, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) National Joint Secretary Dharmendra Bhavani made anti-Muslim comments targeting the community. He demanded a ban on the Quran, Hadith, and madrasas, claiming that madrasas breed terrorism and alleging that violence against Hindus originates from Islamic texts and institutions.
