Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Khagendra Bhargava, speaking at a Youth Parliament organised by Maharana Pratap Youth Club, targeted Islam and claimed that its only goal is to establish an Islamic state across the world and gain control over all political power and natural resources. He alleged that Islamic terrorism is funded through zakat (charity). He further claimed that all wrongdoing in the world, including gambling, weapons smuggling, and drug peddling, is carried out by only one religion– Islam.
