During a Jagran and Bhandara were organized at the Dev Lok Ashram, Bhupendra “Pinki” Chaudhary, national president of the Hindu Raksha Dal, referred to Muslims as “topi and dariwale” and “jihadi.” He peddled the anti-Muslim conspiracy theory of “love jihad,” alleging that women are being trapped. He also fearmongered about demographic change, claiming that the Muslim population is rising while the Hindu population is declining, and portraying this as a serious threat.
