During a Virat Hindu Sammelan, Sunil Deodhar, Bharatiya Janata Party leader, warned that Pune is changing due to a rising Muslim population in areas like Kondhwa and urged Hindus to remain alert. He asked Hindus to sell houses only to other Hindus, engage socially and economically only within the community, and ensure their daughters do not form relationships with Muslim men, claiming such relationships are a form of “jihad.”
