“Would you like it if people and the administration started calling Rahata a Muslim Village/City? Muslims are taking over Rahata. They have four wives and 40 kids….We have to start doing a “Janta NRC”. The sarpanch will have to check everyone’s documents; even if they have Aadhar and ration cards, you still have to ask all of them, “Tumhara abu kaha ka hai?” If he says he is Bengali, we must check if he is from West Bengal or Bangladesh. Just WhatsApp us the details…..The Waqf Board needs to be abolished….. Check their underwear to see if they can enter our sabha. Khatna walla udhar, baki sab idar (Hindus on this side and those who are circumcised on the other side,” Chavhanke told the crowd at the Sakal Hindu Samaj event.
Far-right leader Sagar Baig said that “Mulla & Mualvi keep attacking our Hindu identity and culture. Now it’s time to pick up weapons and stop these protests, intellectual debates…. In all the morchas we got Suresh Chavanke, Nitesh Rane and T Raja Singh, yet we still don’t have a love jihad law.”
