Haryana: Gau Raksha Dal Incites Anti-Muslim Sentiments in Mewat, Advocates Violence by Cow Vigilantes

Location: Kaithal, Haryana

In Kaithal, Haryana, leaders of the Gau Raksha Dal promoted hatred towards Muslims in the Mewat region and justified the use of violence by cow vigilantes. References to Mewat as “mini-Pakistan” and blaming the Muslim community for various issues have raised alarms about the potential for further unrest in the area, which saw widespread violence in August last month.
