Priest of Dasna Devi temple Yati Narsinghanad Saraswati, known for his Islamophobic remarks, compared his infamous dharamsansad (religious assembly) speech to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election campaign speeches.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, May 16, he said, “Whatever we had said at our dharamsansad, the Prime Minister of India is also saying it publicly. It means that we were right. You (the reporters) are all witnesses to his current speeches.”
Yati Narsinghanad said that they plan to organise a global dharmasansad with the blessings of their god and ‘people from above’.
In the three-day dharamsansad conducted in Haridwar in December 2021, he gave a call for Muslim genocide. The event was also attended by BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay.
