Dadra and Nagar Haveli: Hate speech by Hindutva Leaders Glorifies Gujarat Genocide and Babri Demolition

“Wasim Rizvi is now living as Jitendra Prasad Narayan in this country, O Abdul and Mehmood listen carefully if you want to live in this country, you have to become Amit and Madan – sunlo o Abdul or Mehmood, is desh me rehna hai to Amit or Madan bankar rehna hoga. If you try to become Afzal and Kasab you will be hanged to death. This is not the country of Gandhi anymore who preached of offering another cheek if someone slaps you at one, this country is changed. If a Muslim tries to slap you, cut his hand and give it in another hand.”

These were some of the statements made by Vikram Singh Bhatti, leader of a Hindutva outfit called Vishwa Hindu Parishad on December 6, in the “Shourya Diwas” organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal in Dadra and Nagar Haveli’s Silvasa.

‘Shourya Diwas’ is an event observed by the Indian right-wing Hindutva outfits and Hindu extremists every year on December 6 to celebrate the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
