At the ABP Maharashtra Summit, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane urged the Sakal Hindu Samaj to confront threats from Jihadis, Bangladeshis, and Rohingyas, claiming they aim to Islamize Maharashtra. He promoted conspiracy theories about “love jihad” and “land jihad,” criticised Muslims for not recognizing India as a Hindu nation, and suggested that while discussions may work with educated Muslims, grassroots engagement requires a more aggressive approach, even implying the use of violence against those accused of “love jihad.”
