Far-right monk Mahant Raju Das delivered a communal speech marked by demographic fearmongering and dehumanizing slurs against Muslims. He promoted the “love jihad” conspiracy, framed Muslims across professions as linked to terrorism, and invoked Kashmir, Bangladesh, and Pakistan to incite fear. He called on Hindus to become “extremist” (kattar) and adopt weapons to prevent the alleged persecution of Hindu women, asserting that coexistence with Muslims is impossible.
