At an AHP–Rashtriya Mahila Parishad and Ojaswini Self-Defence Camp, leader Rajni Thukral urged young women to keep weapons at home, invoking Maa Durga wielding weapons as an example. She fearmongered about a declining Hindu population, claiming only “10–12%” Hindus remained in Meghalaya, Manipur, and Nagaland, and warned that attacks and stone-pelting against Hindu yatras could happen to them. She alleged that the farmers’ protest and the CJP protest were attempts to break India. She claimed AHP–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal’s Hanuman Chalisa centres and self-defence training were necessary to protect Hindu women from threats of being “cut up in 35 pieces” and from harassment by Christian missionaries allegedly offering bribes.
