The organisers of the anti-Muslim hate speech event in Jantar Mantar in August 2021 are scheduled to venture into similar territory once again as they prepare to host a 'Hindu Mahapanchayat' on Sunday, 3 April, in Delhi's Burari.

Even the agenda for the 'Hindu Mahapanchayat' is similar to that of the Jantar Mantar event last year. Most of the talking points mentioned on the 'Mahapanchayat' poster are the same as those which were featured on the Jantar Mantar event hoarding.

The anti-Muslim sloganeering at the Jantar Mantar event on 8 August 2021 had led to the Delhi Police arresting BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay and five others who were part of the event, including event organiser Preet Singh, president of Save India Foundation.

Singh had received bail in the case in September 2021.

And it is the same Preet Singh and his Save India Foundation that are organising the 'Hindu Mahapanchayat' in Delhi on 3 April. The organisers have even invited Sudarshan News editor Suresh Chavhanke as one of the chief guests of the 'Mahapanchayat'. Chavhanke has often been accused of putting out hateful content on his channel.
