Pravin Togadia, founder and president of AHP–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, addressed a gathering where he glorified the demolition of the Babri Masjid and urged the removal of “symbols of Babur” from India. He also boasted about issuing threats of violence against anyone who opposed the Ram Mandir construction and fearmongered about Islam, claiming that wherever the Hindu population decreases, they are being killed.
