At a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Sthapna Diwas event, leaders Sadhvi Prachi and Anuj Balia delivered speeches targeting Muslims. Sadhvi Prachi called “love jihad” a “cancer to the nation,” urging Hindu women to keep daughters away from Muslim-run schools, parlours, and institutes. Anuj Balia further peddled conspiracy theories about cow slaughter, conversion, and “love jihad,” referring to Muslims as “jihadis” and alleging they were plotting in masjids and madrasas to kill Hindu families, claiming “Pakistan and Kashmir are spread across India in smaller units.”
