Day 2, 18 December:
This is a highly objectionable and sensitive speech. Swami Dharam Das Maharaj from Patna said, "If I had gun, I would have become Nathuram Godse and I would have shot Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh inside Parliament."

How is this man free?

Swami Premanand Maharaj stresses on the need for Hindus to purchase weapons to defend religion.

Day 3, 19 December:
BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay presents "Bhagwa Constitution" to his "Gurudev" Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati. Earlier when he was accused in Jantar Mantar Hate Speech case, he distanced himself from those disciples of Narsinghanand who raised slogans.

Swami Prabodhanand referred to Myanmar and said, "Like Myanmar our police, our politicians, our Army and every Hindu must pick up weapons and conduct this "Safaayi Abhiyan". There is no other option left."

Here is how all these speakers are connected with the BJP.

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Dhami touching feet of Swami Prabodhanand who talked about Myanmar style "Safaayi Abhiyan" in "Dharm Sansad", and said "Like Myanmar, our police, our army and every Hindu must pick up weapons and conduct this Safaayi Abhiyan".
