JAIPUR – A Hindu monk in Rajasthan’s Balotra area has sparked outrage by delivering an inflammatory speech against the Muslim community, heightening communal tension.
The anti-Muslim hate speech took place on Saturday, August 17 when the monk was addressing a large gathering. He referred to Muslims as “demons and “cannibals”, while making explicit calls for mass violence against them, Siasat Daily reported.
In a video surfacing on social media, the monk can be purportedly seen addressing a crowd holding tricolour and saffron flags saying,” If they (Muslims) kill one Hindu, we will kill 100 Muslims. We will enter their homes and kill them.”
The monk sparked a dangerous conspiracy theory falsely claiming that the Muslim call to prayer, Azan, is a warning for Hindus to be killed.
The gathering concluded the event by taking an oath to make Hindus aware and teach lessons to Muslims.
