Reality Check: Mohan Bhagwat Faces Muslim Voter Deletion and UP Mosque Raze

Following RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s speech in New York emphasizing Hindu-Muslim unity, several incidents targeting Muslims were reported across India. In Jharkhand, a BJP booth agent was arrested for submitting forms to delete Muslim voters. An FIR was filed in Uttar Pradesh over offering prayers in public, and a 115-year-old mosque in Saharanpur was demolished. In Bhopal, a BJP MLA threatened missile strikes on a Muslim-majority area. In Maharashtra, the VHP barred Muslims from Garba events, citing religious identity verification. These incidents highlight a stark contrast between Bhagwat’s inclusive message and actions on the ground.
