Sudarshan News editor Suresh Chavhanke has tweaked his “fight, die, kill for Hindu Rashtra” pledge to “we will sacrifice ourselves to preserve Hindustan and, if required, others”. This comes a few months after the Supreme Court pulled up the Delhi police for its affidavit clearing Chavhanke of hate speech – for administering the controversial oath at a function in Delhi last December – paving the way for an FIR for promoting religious enmity.
At a “Hanuman Chaalisa and Jansabha” event for “Hindu lions” organised by Hindutva groups in Haryana’s Badarpur on Sunday, Chavhanke started by mocking what appeared to be a lacklustre response to a Bharat Mata Ki Jai slogan. “Ye toh kisi mulle ko bhi nahin sunaai diya hoga, is aawaaz mein kaise chalega. Jama Masjid tak aawaaz jaani chahiye,” he said to a thunderous response from the seated audience. “Not even one Muslim would have heard this. How will this voice work? You should be heard from even Jama Masjid.”
