BJP legislator Nitesh Rane delivered a dangerous speech against Muslims and promoted bogus conspiracies of “love jihad and land jihad.”
“We Hindus preach every religion is equal, but these skull cap people keep preaching “sar tan se Juda” and “Allah hu Akbar”……. If you again say “Sar tan se juda,” then next Friday, your head won’t be on your body. This is a Hindu Rashtra…We have to change the name of Islampur to Ishwarpur, as Dr Hedgewar wanted to do so….They want to reduce our population and increase the Muslim population to make an Islam Rashtra. These people have encroached on Vishalgad. How can we accept this? These people are going around and putting a green cloth on the forts of Shivaji. These jihadi pimps just keep making mazars everywhere…. If the government doesn’t remove these encroachments, I will take a bulldozer myself and make sure a single muslim shanty does not remain there…. If anybody calls Ishwarpur by the name Islampur, hit them and tell them never to say Islampur again….. A lot of illegal Mosques and Mazars are coming up in Islampur; if the government doesn’t demolish these, then our Hindutva activists will destroy them. You won’t be able to do anything about it….We can pick up weapons for Hinduism….If you come with a weapon or gun, we will also use weapons against you,” Rane told the crowd.
