Ujjain: The all-woman outfit of the right-wing organisations Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Durga Vahini conducted a massive rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain where female workers echoed communal and Islamophobic slogans by the female activists in front of a mosque.
In a video filmed and spread among the Hindutva outfits, women were seen walking on the streets chanting aggressive slogans while wielding weapons including swords and sticks.
Upon reaching the mosque, the saffron-clad women chanted dog whistles including “Mein Durga banungi, Kaali banuungi per burkha wali nahi banungi (I will become godess Durga, godess Kaali but not a burqa-wearing woman).”
The Durga Vahini conducted their four-day annual meeting in Ujjain. More than 35000 women participants attended the event, according to the claims made by the organisers.
Hindutva leader Ritambhara was the chief speaker of the programmes where she made inflammatory speeches against the minority community, calling for an economic boycott. She also spoke about alleged ‘love jihad’ based on the Hindutva narrative.
