“Dadri mein ek suar maara jaata hai gaay kaatne waala Akhlaq, toh waha saare ke saare Rahul Gandhi se lekar Akhilesh aur Arvind Kejriwal aise rote hai jaise inka damaad mar gaya ho. (When a pig named Akhlaq who killed cows was murdered in Dadri, then everyone from Rahul Gandhi to Akhilesh and Arvind Kejriwal cried as if their own son-in-law had died.)”
Those were the words of Nandkishor Gurjar, BJP MLA from Uttar Pradesh’s Loni, during his hate speech at a public event titled ‘Virat Hindu Sabha’ held in Delhi’s Dilshad Garden on Sunday, 9 October.
Gurjar was live on his verified Facebook page when he made these comments. You can watch the specific quote about Akhlaq here at the 1:20 minute mark.
Gurjar also said, “We were accused of entering Delhi with 2500 people during the Delhi riots (of 2020). Police filed cases against us accusing us of killing jihadis. We will kill jihadis, we will always kill jihadis, we won’t kill those who say Bharat Mata ki jai and believe that Bhagwan Shri Ram is their ancestor.”
This is BJP MLA Nand Kishore Gujjar. He also spoke at the same event with Parvesh Varma. #HateSpeech

There’s more.
BJP MP Parvesh Verma, another repeat purveyor of hate speech, was also present at the event and gave a hate speech of his own.
Verma, who is the Lok Sabha MP from West Delhi, urged the gathering, “Wherever you see them, I am telling you, if you have to fix their mentality, then you must completely boycott them. Are you in agreement on this? Raise your hands and say so if you are.”
The people in the crowd applaud, raise their hands and chant, “We are in agreement.”
Verma goes on, “Repeat with me, we will completely boycott them.” The crowd echoes Verma’s slogan.
Verma continues and the crowd repeats each line after him, “We will not buy anything from their shops. We will not give them any employment.”
