During the VHP–Bajrang Dal “Samarasata Yatra,” a speaker addressing youth spoke against religious conversion, questioning whether anything was lacking in the “33 koti devi–devtas” that Hindus were converting to Christianity, and claimed all Hindus are descendants of Ram, Krishna, and Manu. Another speaker warned against alleged incentive-based conversions, claiming such conversions had neither alleviated suffering nor supported people in times of difficulty, asserting that their own community had done so instead. A third speaker accused missionaries and Muslims of carrying out inducement-based conversions, claimed Sanatan Dharma is the oldest religion from which all others emerged.
