At a Ram Katha, BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya alleged that “vidharmis” had spread terror and conspired to destroy Indian culture. He urged attendees to protect their children and dharm from “jihadi” and “jihad.” He called on women to be like Durga by confronting “vidharmis” with swords and tridents, stating that they should “pluck their eyes out.” He further asserted that Hindus would not leave their land and that “vidharmis” and “Shurpanakhas” should leave instead, declaring that Hindus would stay, fight, and drive them out.
