During an event by Savarkar Vichar Manch, Pushpendra Kulshrestha made anti-Muslim remarks, urging attendees to vote only for Sanatanis, rejecting the idea that “all religions are equal,” and branding other faiths as “enemies.” He promoted the anti-Muslim “love jihad” conspiracy, mocked Muslims as “pagal jihadiyon” (mad jihadists), and invoked cases of Hindu women being killed, declaring that the hands of “jihadis” should be cut off. He also cited Israel as an inspiration, praising the destruction in the Muslim-inhabited Gaza as what he termed revenge.
