Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh members marked Shourya Diwas, commemorating the demolition of the Babri Masjid, by marching with a bulldozer toward Bahraich and demanding the demolition of the Salar Masud Ghazi mazar and its renaming after Suheldev. A speaker declared that the time for requests was over and the time for “battle” had begun, claiming they had already informed authorities to dig up the mazar or else “clear the way” for Sanatanis to demolish it themselves. AHP–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal leader Manmohan Tripathi said they were fighting for the “core values of Hindutva” and claimed he had no fear of people with an “Aaji-Paaji or Babur-like mentality.” He asserted that as long as mazars of figures like “Babar, Humayun, Aurangzeb, Haji Salar, Ghazi Salar” exist, “the mentality of jihad will remain,” and questioned whether such “jihad” should be tolerated. He said that if action can be taken against Nupur Sharma, then “action should be taken against Shaukat Ali too,” warning that if authorities fail to act, “we should go to their homes and create chaos (tandav).” Tripathi said anyone who wants to engage in “jihad” should “go to Pakistan,” and argued that if the country was divided on religious lines, then those who choose to live here must follow the Gita and Ramayan, not “Sharia or jihad law, which Hindu society will not tolerate.” He claimed Hindus would soon face a time when Hindu women would be dragged out of their homes and assaulted. He urged parents to make their children doctors and engineers, “but also make them radical (kattar) about their religion.” Another speaker fearmongered that Hindus would be “cut,” women abducted, and families imprisoned, telling parents to make their children “kattar” enough to leave government jobs to fight a “dharma-yudh.”
