The Indigenous Youth Force of Arunachal (IYFA), Arunachal Pradesh Indigenous Youth Organisation (APIYO), and All Naharlagun Youth Organisation (ANYO) staged a protest mashal rally against a Bangladeshi leader’s claim over the Northeast, where they targeted those they termed “Bangladeshis” in the state and employed islamophobic rhetoric. They brandished swords and raised slogans such as “Bangladeshi go back!” and “Chase Bangladeshis, save Arunachal” They also warned Bangladesh against aggression, threatening to throw so many “pigs” into Bangladesh that it would make life a living hell.
