At a VHP–Bajrang Dal Sthapna Diwas event, leader Ramesh Dhaundiyal peddled the anti-Muslim conspiracy theory of “love jihad,” alleging that Hindu women are being targeted through deceit and that Hindus are being converted through inducements. He claimed that Sanatan Dharma once flourished across an “Akhand Bharat” but is now under attack, citing the persecution of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh. He called for Hindu unity and strength and urged attendees to stop buying from or doing business with people of “other religions,” declaring that Hindus should not trade with them.
