At the inauguration of the Vijaypath Joint Physical Academy, Karni Sena’s National President, Jeevan Singh Sherpur, made anti-Muslim remarks, invoking the conspiracy theories of “love jihad” and cow protection. He declared that if defending cows made them “gundas” (thugs), then such thugs should be born in every home. He alleged that Hindus are being misled, demanded strict laws to criminalize marriages without parental consent as a way to prevent “love jihad,” and claimed such laws would “protect daughters.”
