"We will stand up against every jihadi in India and clean the country of their presence."<br /><br />"Whoever has understood the Quran is a jihadi."<br /><br />"Every Hindu should keep weapons at home. When you do that, you will be blessed by Ram and Krishna. You need the weapons now, to wage war against the jihadis."<br /><br />These are just a few of the many instances of hate speech and appeals for anti-Muslim violence made by Swami Prabodhanand Giri in UP's Ghaziabad on 2 January, a fortnight after he helped organise the Haridwar Dharam Sansad, where calls for a genocide of Muslims were made.<br /><br />Prabodhanand received a hero's welcome in Ghaziabad for his crucial role in the Haridwar hate assembly and was felicitated while on a massive roadshow through the city.<br />
