VHP-Bajrang Dal leader Naresh Uniyal, speaking at a Ramlila event, claimed that within the next 10–15 years, loudspeakers across Uttarakhand would echo with the chant, “If you want to live in Uttarakhand, you must chant Allahu Akbar,” similar to what he alleged had happened in Kashmir to turn it into “Pakistan with Hindu women.” He used the derogatory slur “Melchhas” and alleged that they have infiltrated vegetable markets, construction sites, and even temple premises. He further said that the Ramlila would continue only as long as it has an audience, warning that with the growing Muslim population, Hindus would be forced to “leave their homes in burkhas” and hear “Allahu Akbar” instead of the Ramayan.
