Praveen Togadia’s Controversial Claims About Mosques and Hindu Violence

Praveen Togadia, the national president of Bajrang Dal, recently spoke in Bilsi, Uttar Pradesh. He claimed that all mosques built during the Mughal era were made by taking down temples. Togadia said he saw a list of 12,000 temples that were destroyed to build these mosques. He also mentioned that Hindus in Bangladesh have faced violence and questioned why Hindus were attacked if the protests were aimed at the government. He believes there should be a government that protects Hindus and stands up for them. This comes after the Bangladesh government faced protests, leading to unrest and violence against religious minorities, especially Hindus.
