Rajeshwar Singh

Islamophobic Remarks :

Hindu nationalist politician Rajeshwar Singh hails from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He is the leader of the state’s Dharm Jagran Samiti (DJS) and an RSS pracharak.

He has been in charge of the RSS’s Ghar Wapisi (Hinduism conversion) initiative in western Uttar Pradesh since 1996. Every year, on December 23 for Muslims and December 25 for Christians, he arranges large Ghar Wapisi activities. Since 1996, he claims to have conducted Ghar wapsi of more than 3,000 persons.

In December 2014, Singh added that the country would be free of religions like Christianity and Islam by 2021.

“India’s inner spirit has been awakened. India’s motherland has risen. She is eager to reach her objective. Watch and wait. The end day for Christian terrorists and Islam in this nation is December 31, 2021. By the deadline, we have sworn to exterminate both Islam and Christianity from the nation. He had stated, “This is my and my comrade’s oath.

“The Christians and Muslims have no right to dwell here. Therefore, they would either be made to convert to Hinduism or made to flee the nation, he continued.

In Agra, Uttar Pradesh, during the same month of December 2014, Singh and his assistants persuaded over 300 Muslims to convert to Hinduism, sparking uproar across the country.
