Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) held a large Dharma Sabha against religious conversion, “love jihad,” “land jihad,” and cow smuggling. MLA T. Raja Singh alleged that foreign funding drives religious conversions and criticised meat exports. He mocked Christian missionaries as worshipping an “ulta putla” (“upside-down idol”), and derogatorily referred to Muslims as “jihadis,” “kutmulle,” and “suar ke bacche.” He framed the issue electorally, claiming “jihadis and meat eaters” don’t vote for BJP, praised Yogi Adityanath and Modi, and urged Hindus to be drug-free and instead learn “sastra vidhya” (weapons). His son T. Chandrashekar Hindu pledged to unite against the “Jihadi Khatra” (“Jihadi Threat”) for a Hindu Rashtra, pushing conspiracy theories of “love jihad,” “land jihad,” “conversion,” and “halala,” while branding Muslims as “desh drohi” (“Anti-Nationals”). Guru Khushwant Saheb, Cabinet Minister of Chhattisgarh, also demanded strict anti-conversion laws. The event ended with youth taking an oath to defend “dharma” and the nation.
