Hate Speech Maharashtra

250220-Ratnagiri 
In Ratnagiri, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane delivered a hate-filled speech targeting Muslims. Rane in his speech said that, “Because issues like Love Jihad and Land Jihad are actively happening around us. Through Love Jihad and religious conversion, a large-scale effort is underway to bring countless Hindu mothers and sisters into Islam by those engaging in Jihad. He propagated unfounded conspiracies about ‘love jihad’ and ‘land jihad,’ intensifying his rhetoric by labelling Muslims as “jihadis.” All the illegal activities happening around us—wherever you look, spreading the green cloth, building mazars and tombs everywhere—against all this, our Maharashtra government will take a firm stand without any Hindutva-based bias.",,, https://cjp.org.in/the-role-of-leaders-in-spreading-divisive-rhetoric/
