At an event marking Lal Bahadur Shastri’s birth anniversary, BJP leader and Supreme Court lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay demanded the closure of all madrasas, claiming “the Mughals have left India.” He also called for Christian schools to be shut and for roads named after Muslims to be renamed. Later, he demanded that alleged “infiltrators” be denied legal representation in India, claiming that lawyers who represent them are greedy.
