At a Trishul Deeksha led by Praveen Togadia, president of the Antar-Rashtriya Hindu Parishad (AHP) and Rashtriya Bajrang Dal (RBD), Togadia fearmongered about Hindu population decline, claiming Hindus would become a minority and face violence if their population continued to fall. He called for a population-control law, the expulsion of Bangladeshis, an end to religious conversions, and an economic boycott of non-Hindus, including only buying from and employing Hindus. He also declared, “Kata hua Hindu hi sabko peetega” (“A divided Hindu will beat everyone”).
Tridents were distributed to participants, who took an oath while holding the tridents to protect Hinduism, Hindus and India. They also pledged to worship weapons, conduct Shastra Pooja, keep iron rods and pipes at home for self-defence, and undergo self-defence training.
