Samik Bhattacharya, BJP Rajya Sabha MP and State President, speaking at an election campaign rally, claimed that they are not against Indian Muslims but against those he alleged had demanded Pakistan during independence. He declared that they are clear about the treatment for them—“Detect, Delete and Deport.” He warned Muslims that if anyone dared to build a masjid in the name of Babur in Bengal, their heads would be crushed into dust, asserting that it is Ram Rajya and there is no space for Babur.
