Hate speech has been reported from three states, and speeches continue with complete impunity. Newer faces emerge each time, continuing with the same diatrib

While Vijayvargiya states that women dress “vulgarly” and look like “Surpanakha”, Sadhvi Prachi says that Muslim women are helpless as they have to wear black veils in 50 degree heat

Myriad commissions of inquiry including the seminal Justice DP Madon Commission of Inquiry into the Bhiwandi-Mahad-Jalgaon Riots in 1970 have abjured the police from allowing indiscriminate passage to religious processions; the recommendations of these commissions and the law of the land are however not followed by the police controlled as its actions are by the executive

Speaking at Nashik on March 22, he went on ceaselessly spreading disinformation about both Muslims and Christians
