Hindu Raksha Dal regional leader Amit Prajapati, speaking at a weekly Hanuman Chalisa gathering, claimed that situations like those in Bangladesh are emerging across India as well. He alleged that Hindus are required to seek permission to organise Hanuman Chalisa centres, which he described as the only “weapon” available for Hindus to protect and defend themselves. He further claimed that if “vidharmis” seek to kill, attack, and spread “jihad,” Hindus would respond through mobilisation around Hanuman Chalisa centres, asserting that the “stone-pelting community will be swept away.”
