At a public event, far-right influencer and political commentator Pushpendra Kulshrestha delivered an anti-Muslim hate speech. He called for a social boycott of Muslims, saying, “Don’t talk to the mad jihadis in your city; they can’t be spoken to, they have to be shot in the head.” He referred to Muslims as lootere (looters) and pagal kutte (mad dogs), and repeatedly demanded violence, insisting that jihadis should be shot.
