In Jalandhar, AHP Leader Urges Attacks on Muslims and Spreads “Love Jihad”

Location: Jalandhar, Punjab

AHP-Rashtriya Bajrang Dal leader Manoj Kumar delivered a dangerous speech calling for attacks on Muslims entering their localities with a “musal” (club/stick), claiming that a “mullah” understands only the “musal.” He peddled the anti-Muslim conspiracy theory of “love jihad,” alleging that “jihadis” and “beard- and skullcap-wearing men” trap Hindu women and “cut them into 35 pieces.” He promoted weekly Hanuman Chalisa centres to counter Jumma namaz, describing it as a plan to unite Hindus. He also alleged an increase in religious conversions by Christians in Punjab through financial inducements and referred to them derogatorily as “Holulu.” Invoking Partition and Bangladesh, he demanded government action and asserted that Hindus would now be “the ones to beat and win.”
