At a Sant Sansad organised by Network 10, Kalicharan Maharaj, a far-right preacher, promoted religious violence, claimed India was repeatedly divided because Hindus were non-violent, declared Islam and Christianity enemies of Hindus and Hindustan, praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for police encounters, spread the conspiracy of “love jihad,” and claimed violence was necessary to stop cow slaughter, counter “love jihad,” and establish a “Hindu Rashtra.”
