VHP-Bajrang Dal National Coordinator Kishan Prajapat, speaking at a training camp, asserted that it was their responsibility to protect Hindu women from “love jihad.” He claimed that Muslim children grow up practising goat slaughter at home, terming Muslims as “cruel,” and urged Hindu youth to join Bajrang Dal training camps to “fight” such people. He claimed that otherwise Hindu women would be r*ped in front of them, similar to what he claimed happened in Pakistan. He also alleged that Christian pastors were carrying out religious conversions in villages and described Hanuman Chalisa centres as a means to counter them.
