Bajrang Dal leader Vikas Verma, speaking at a weekly Hanuman Chalisa event, targeted Muslims and Christians, accusing them of religious conversion. He referred to Muslims as “jihadis” and “parasites”, and alleged that they live in India, take benefits of government schemes, but refuse to chant “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and instead support and chant slogans for Palestine. He claimed that Muslims massacre Hindus in large numbers during riots. He also called for the boycott of Muslim businesses and services, urging people to scan names before making payments.
