During a Veer Hanuman Raksha Yatra, AHP-Rashtriya Bajrang Dal leader Manoj Singh falsely claimed that when non-Hindus move into a locality, Hindus gradually leave, eventually leading to the entire area being vacated. He claimed that when there are a large number of muslims in an area (cites Muzaffarnagar and Bareilly as examples), Hindus are forced to leave these areas and settle elsewhere.
