New Delhi: Hindu Raksha Dal chief Bhupendra Tomar alias Pinky Chaudhary sparked outrage after turning a food distribution drive in Ghaziabad into a communal flashpoint, declaring that Muslims would be denied aid.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, a viral video shows Chaudhary snatching a food plate from a poor man in line and telling the camera: \u201cWe will not give food to Mullahs, no matter who feels bad; no Muslim should eat.\u201d He added, \u201cMullah na aaye, sirf Hindu aaye\u201d \u2014 barring Muslims from receiving food.<\/p>\n

Chaudhary, a key accused in the August 2021 Jantar Mantar hate speech case, has a long record of anti-Muslim rhetoric. He has previously branded Muslims as \u201cjihadis,\u201d urged Hindus to block Muslims from buying property in Hindu-majority areas, and falsely claimed \u201conly Hindus pay taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February 2026, his outfit scrawled \u201cRoad Not for Muslims\u201d across a Uttar Pradesh highway. In August 2024, he led a mob that torched homes in a Muslim settlement in Ghaziabad. Chaudhary boasts of over 38 criminal cases against him. Hindu Raksha Dal members stand accused of distributing swords, chanting anti-Muslim slogans, and targeting minorities.<\/p>\n

Critics say the group\u2019s actions, and the tepid legal response, are widening India\u2019s communal fault lines, renewing calls for a crackdown on hate speech and an end to impunity for Hindutva vigilante groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
