At a rally held to protest the Murshidabad riots, a Hindu nationalist leader delivered a dangerous hate speech; the speaker glorified the 1946 communal killings led by Gopal Patha and urged Hindus to arm themselves. They declared, “From today, all of us have to keep weapons at home… our sister will be able to slaughter the jihadi when he enters.” The leader threatened, “If anyone raises their voice against Hinduism, we will remove their eyes and detach their head from their body.”
