At the Sanatan Dharmarakshak Morcha organised by the Sakal Hindu Samaj, far-right influencer Sangram Bapu Bhandare Pateel called Muslims “infiltrators” and “vidharmis,” lauded the demolition of slaughterhouses, demanded stricter police crackdowns on alleged cow smuggling, and urged the social boycott of Muslims. He promoted Lawrence Bishnoi as a Hindu “hero,” encouraged violence in the name of gau raksha, and declared, “Make sure your bread is made by Hindus,” targeting Muslim workers in Maharashtra’s bakery trade. NCP MLA Sangram Jagtap echoed these views, urging police to side with Hindus, calling Muslims “jihadi,” and warning of “rapid and intense” retaliation. He further derogatorily referred to Muslims as “dogs” and used the anti-Muslim slur “landiya.”
