At the mahapanchayat called by Hindu outfits at Pondri village in Haryana’s Palwal on Sunday, speakers placed their demands and reportedly issued threats in the presence of police. Participants from Palwal, Gurugram and other nearby places took part. According to a report in NDTV, one of the speakers said, “If you raise a finger, we will cut off your hands.” Some Hindu leaders said that Hindus in Nuh, a Muslim-dominated district, be given relaxation in securing arms licences for self-defence. 

According to a report in India Today, Haryana Gau Rakshak Dal’s Acharya Azad Shashtri said, “We should immediately ensure getting license of 100 arms in Mewat, and not guns, but rifles because rifles can do long-range firing. It is a do or die situation. This country’s division was on the basis of Hindu and Muslims. It’s because of Gandhi that these Muslims stayed back in Mewat.”
