Dhananjay Desai, chief of the Hindu Rashtra Sena, demonises Muslims by claiming that India has faced significant losses due to Islamic jihad, referencing Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He expresses concerns about the Waqf board, alleging that jihadists have seized control of 1.2 million acres in India. Using derogatory terms, he accuses Muslim MLA Badaruddin Ajmal of facilitating the infiltration of Bangladeshis into India and portrays Bangladeshi and Rohingya individuals as infiltrators influencing Maharashtra’s elections. He further labels Muslims as traitorous.
