Dehradun: A new video circulating online shows a Hindu religious figure issuing violent threats against Muslims during a public gathering in Almora, Uttarakhand, in the presence of Indian Minister of State Ajay Tamta.
According to Kashmir24, the speaker, identified as “Lal Baba,” can be heard making inflammatory remarks targeting Muslims, warning those he described as having a “jihadi mentality” to leave Uttarakhand and threatening them with physical harm.
The event, organised under the banner of a “Bhavya Hindu Sammelan” by a local committee, has drawn sharp criticism from members of the Muslim community and civil society groups. They said the statements amounted to direct incitement to violence and demanded immediate legal action against the speaker.
A local Muslim representative said, “This was not just hate speech; it was an open threat against our lives and dignity. Such statements create fear among ordinary citizens.”
