Hate offender and genocide monger ‘Swami’ Jitendranand Saraswati who got away when he gave genocide calls at the Dharma Sansad in Hardiwar, Uttarakhand in 2021, and brought a trishul to a screening of The Kashmir Files in March, 2022, is now calling for the lynching of pregnant women and unborn babies.

He recently said, “Aisa singhnad karo ki desh virodhi mahila ki kokh mein koi gau hatyara, koi rashtra virodhi pal raha ho to kokh phaad kar gir jaaye. (Translation: Roar like a lion, so that if there is a ‘cow killer’ or an anti-national, being nurtured in the womb of an anti-national woman, your slogans should result in the unborn baby falling out of the ripped open womb.)”

 

 

The sheer violence of those words will make any normal person recoil in horror, but to the audience and colleagues of Jitendranand, these were to be applauded, absorbed, and perhaps enacted when called to do so. The men on the stage at the Hindutva event, as yet not identified, let him give the call to violence, as the unseen audience is exhorted by him to cheer and repeat the hate words that follow.

He is the same man who brought a trishul to The Kashmir Files screening in March. He openly and regularly issues calls to violence, and makes speeches to hurt religious sentiments of Muslims. His words are aimed to incite communal violence and anti-Muslim hate among his audience that included children as seen at the movie screening. He then uploads the hate speech and abuse on his youtube channel with titles like “देश धर्म पर आघात हम चुप क्यूँ है” meaning, “Why is the country silent on the attack on religion?” This when he is the one openly calling for attacks on women, babies, and religious minorities. He asks Hindus to carry weapons, telling them “You think that you are safe here but you are not. You have no preparation… They are present in Badwani, Madhya Pradesh and every part of India. They’re a threat to the whole world.”

In this latest video, he invokes his fantasy of an ‘Akhand Bharat’ or undivided India, and claims, “Our forefathers have made a lot of mistakes and we are bearing the fall out… Afghanistan etc was all akhand bharat then it disintegrated and we were left with this small piece … and secularism.” He suggests that secularism, as enshrined in the Constitution, is wrong. Thus his words are anti-Constitutional as well. 

He claims [Taliban] were [once] “stripping and selling Indian women in the markets” and claims he sees it happening again. He dubs all those who don’t believe in his idea of Hindutva, “heretic”. In his latest video he says, “Mumbai is a sensitive area… where people like Dawood… dogs and bastards… are everywhere. They slaughter cows, dogs, pigs, they do it…. Vidharmis…” This may hint at the fact that the event was perhaps somewhere in Maharashtra or Madhya Pradesh, though that is not confirmed yet. 

“Hindus never hurt an ant… yet Amir khan, Shahrukh Khan, these singing dancing men say we are intolerant. You will teach us humanity? Go teach Taliban…. They won’t say it there…. They will say that sant samaj,” he says, and then tells the audience that the “the colour of terrorism is green” hinting at the Islamic flag and tells the audience to repeat his hate words. 

Citizens of Justice and Peace, has already reported this hate speech to Youtube, as soon as it was spotted. More calls have gone out on social media for his arrest and many users shared his hate speech videos tagging the handles of government authorities, asking that the hate offenders be put behind bars.
