Islamophobic Remarks :
Arpit Gupta, who lives in Shahjahanabad, Uttar Pradesh, is a leading member of the Hindu militant group Bajrang Dal. He is currently an attorney in Shahjahanabad’s civil court. Aside from his work commitments, he frequently takes part in extreme Hindu gatherings and events, giving speeches against Muslims and encouraging violence against minorities.
Gupta published a video footage in September 2023 of Indian Parliamentary member Ramesh Bidhuri’s statement in which he used derogatory remarks directed toward Muslim lawmaker Danish Ansari during a parliamentary session. Gupta expressed his anger on Facebook in a different post, accusing opposition MPs like Udhayanidhi Stalin and Assadudin Owaisi of “instigat[ing]” Hindus. Additionally, he called the Indian Constitution’s cherished secularism “fake.”
made an anti-Muslim statement in August 2023 at a gathering that drew thousands of spectators. She falsely claimed that Muslims had desecrated and disrespected Hindu religious sites. He said that old Muslim buildings such as the Gyanvapi and Shahi Idgah Mosques in Varanasi and Kashi, Uttar Pradesh, belong to Hindus, suggesting that if those buildings are not given to Hindus, there may be violent acts similar to the demolition of the Babri Mosque.
Gupta made another fiery speech in October 2023, calling on Hindus to “follow the footsteps” of Mahatma Gandhi’s killer, Nathuram Godse.
Gandhi’s nonviolent ideology was derided in his speech, which began, “Do you remember Gandhi, everyone remembers Gandhi? Slap a cheek and then the other as well. You may have to attack someone, risk going to jail, or even have to leave your home in order to defend the sanctity of Hindutva and Hindus. Get ready! That is the work of a warrior. Act now or perish.
Gupta persisted in his divisive remarks, stating, “We want a Hindustan for Hindus.” The number of Hindus in nine states in the nation has decreased as of late. There are no Hindus left in Jammu and Kashmir. In addition, I include Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi, and Hindus when I refer to Hindus. In the same way, there are no Hindus in Sikkim, Mizoram, Meghalaya, or Tripura. They are talking about establishing an Islamic nation in Kerala while infiltrating and murdering people in West Bengal.
