Yati Narsinghanand Giri, the head priest (Mahant) of the Dasna Devi Temple in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, is facing backlash for his incendiary remarks targeting several educational institutions. He called for military action against Al-Falah University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University, and Darul Uloom Deoband, which he described as “terrorist dens.”
In a video statement, Narsinghanand stated, “Terrorist dens like Al-Falah University, AMU, Jamia Millia, Darul Uloom Deoband should be blown up with cannons by sending in the army.” This statement comes in the wake of the detention of three doctors affiliated with Al-Falah University as part of investigations into an alleged terror module linked to the Delhi blast case.
During the video, he claimed that Al-Falah University is a hub for individuals involved in terrorism, asserting, “They even held mourning at Al-Falah University for the terrorists who died in the blasts.” He criticized Hindus for not supporting those who stand against perceived threats, saying, “A community without fighters cannot survive.”
Narsinghanand further urged the public to pressure their leaders to take action against these institutions, warning that failure to do so would have dire consequences. “Let me be, this is the final phase of my life. What was meant to happen has already occurred,” he noted, emphasizing the importance of unity among his followers.
His remarks come amidst a rise in Islamophobic rhetoric and threats on social media following recent violent events, with many credible figures in the Hindutva sphere vocalizing similar sentiments.
The situation highlights growing tensions and the escalating discourse surrounding religious and communal issues in India.
