Pravin Togadia, leader of the Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad, demonizes Muslims and urged Hindus to keep weapons at home. He states that trishul diksha events aim to intimidate non-Hindus and boasts of distributing 400,000 trishuls in Gujarat. Togadia asserts he received military training for young Hindus from retired Brigadier Uday Singh in 1989, which he believes has impacted events in India. He also advocates for a population control law to limit the Muslim population and vows to expel all “infiltrators” from India.
