Vijaypura, Karnataka, India March 1, 2022: A Hindutva woman, reportedly associating with Akhil Bhartiya Vidhyarth Parishad (ABVP), has expressed her desire to kill 60,000 people who support head scarp/ hijab in India while giving a call for genocide. Pooja delivered a provocative speech at an event organised to protest the murder of a Bajrang Dal member in Vijaypura, in south Indian state Karnataka. The video of her open call for the massacre of Muslims went viral on social media. “If you ask for water, Indians will give you juice. If you ask for milk, we’ll give you curd. But, if you want head scarp/ hijab all over India, we will chop you all with Shivaji’s sword,” she declared drawing cheers and applause from the crowd.She didn’t bat an eyelid while expressing her desire to kill 60,000 people, presumably Muslims.
“Saffron is India, Pooja asserted. “We are happy with all the arrests that have been made, but it’s not enough…if you (government) cannot do it…give us 24 hours…let the government give us just one hour…not just these six girls in head scarp/ hijab, we’ll cut 60,000 in hijab into pieces,” she announced from.
Days ago, a Bajrang Dal activist Harsha, who was facing many criminal cases, was killed by unknown people in Shivamogga district of the state. Soon after the killing, Hindutva mobs went on a rampage setting properties belonging to Muslims .
The police in Karnataka made many arrests in the case of Harsha’s murder. But Hindutva groups continue to target Muslims over the issue. Pooja is not alone to make such provocative remarks against Muslims. There are many like her keeping the cauldron of communalism simmering through belligerent messages against Muslims.
A Hindutva leader is reported to have said that unless a (Hindu) head (killing) is avenged by taking 10 heads; Hindu samaj (community) won’t rest. He, however, didn’t elaborate as to why he thinks would anyone kill anyone.
Meanwhile, another video of a Hindutva leader threatening to repeat the post Godhra Gujarat pogrom surfaced on the social media.
