Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal organised a Support Meeting for a Hindu man allegedly beaten by a Muslim. A Senior Bajrang Dal leader communalised the altercation, calling Muslims “the sons of Mahmud Ghaznavi”, warning them of “consequences”, and threatening violence. He declared, “When Muslims see blood, they run away; when Hindus see blood, they are awakened. Once my brave Hindu is awakened, then we show you your aukaat (place/status).”
