NEW DELHI, 24 December 2021, (TON): Leaders of several far-right Hindu groups have called for genocide of minorities in India, particularly the country's 200 million Muslim community.

According to The Quint “a three-day ‘hate speech conclave’ was organised by the controversial Hindutva leader Yati Narsinghanand from December 17 to 19 in Haridwar city of India’s Uttarakhand state.”

At the summit Hindutva leaders with some of them affiliated with the ruling BJP party made calls to kill minorities and attack their religious spaces, sparking widespread outrage and calls for action against them.

Narsinghanand said at the gathering "economic boycott won't work. Hindu groups need to update themselves. Swords look good on stage only. This battle against Muslims will be won by those with better weapons.”

According to The Wire “another speaker Sadhvi Annapurna, general secretary of the Hindu Mahasabha [Hindu Grand Assembly], called for the ethnic cleansing of Muslims living in the country.”

Annapurna said "nothing is possible without weapons. If you want to eliminate their population then kill them. Be ready to kill and be ready to go to jail. Even if 100 of us are ready to kill 20 lakhs [two million] of them [Muslims], then we will be victorious, and go to jail.”
