Hindutva group threatens minorities, distributes swords in UP

An organisation named Hindu Raksha Dal (HRD) in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, distributed swords and other sharp weapons to Hindus in the city for “protection from targeted violent acts by Muslims” on Monday, December 29.

Condemning the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh, the organisation members announced their support to the government in



getting “rid” of the Bangladeshi immigrants living in India.

In a video that has since become viral, the members of HRD can be seen setting up a stall of the dangerous weapons, calling on their brethren to arm themselves for future attacks. Brandishing the swords, HRD member Amit Prajapati can be heard threatening Muslims, calling them “Bangladeshis.”
