Video from India shows Karnell Singh, a leader from the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP, threatening to ‘slaughter 200,000 Muslims’ after a cow’s head was found near a Hindu temple in Delhi.
The incident is believed to have taken place in New Delhi’s Sangam Vihar area.
“You have 48 hours to do whatever you can. Else, whether it’s 1.5 or 2 lakh Muslims here, we will kill all of them,” he said.
In the complaint against Singh, Muslims demanded the arrest of the BJP leaders and called for the National Security Act (NSA) against him.
The inflammatory comments have escalated tensions amidst communal sensitivities, drawing widespread condemnation from various quarters. Critics have denounced Singh’s statements as incendiary and potentially exacerbating religious discord in the region.
