Pravin Togadia, founder and president of AHP–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, glorified the demolition of the Babri mosque and boasted about issuing threats of violence against those who opposed the construction of the Ram Mandir, saying that they had declared, “We will step on their chest, beat them, and build the temple.” He praised the karseva movement, portraying it as a unifying Hindu effort for a “dharm yudh.” He fearmongered over an alleged decline in the Hindu population, claiming that wherever Hindus have declined, they have been killed. He promoted the campaign “Hindu Hi Aage,” calling for the maintenance of a “Hindu majority” to ensure Hindu safety. He demanded a population control law targeting communities he alleged have many children and live on government rations, proposing the denial of state benefits, including food, education, healthcare, loans, jobs, and voting rights, for non-compliance. He called for the establishment of “Hanuman Chalisa centres” to counter Friday prayers.
