At an “Akhand Bharat Sankalp Rally,” MLA and former BJP leader T. Raja Singh called on Hindus to carry out Karseva in Mathura on December 6, citing calls from Hindu saints to remove what he termed the “kalank” of the Shahi Idgah, and urged them to mobilise for the campaign. Invoking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s statement that future Karsevaks would receive flowers instead of bullets, he called on Yogi to prepare for the mobilisation and claimed that Hindus made him Chief Minister not for development but to establish a “Hindu Rashtra.” He invoked the slogan, “Ayodhya is just a glimpse; Kashi and Mathura are yet to come,” and declared that after Mathura, Hindus would “remove” the alleged “kalank” in Kashi.
