Amit Chaudhary, a BJP youth leader based in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, is a repeat offender known for inciting communal hatred and openly calling for violence against Muslims. On October 25, 2023, while addressing a gathering of the Hanuman Sena, a far-right Hindu outfit, Chaudhary delivered a hate-filled speech, glorifying violence as a means of defending Hinduism. 

He openly praised the 2002 Godhra massacre, attributing it to Prime Minister Modi and justifying it as being “for the sake of Hindus.” In his speech, he called Muslims “jihadis” and “monsters,” and threatened to kill ten Muslims for every Hindu, urging his followers to turn into “fanatics.”

Chaudhary’s speech veered into genocidal language as he urged every Hindu family to allocate a “defence budget” for weapons, advised worshipping arms on Dussehra, and likened Muslims to “man-eating demons.” He claimed that Muslims had broken India into Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and accused them of not respecting patriotic symbols or slogans. He belittled Hindus who spent money on iPhones rather than swords and mocked the legal system, invoking revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad to justify arming without licenses.

This wasn’t Chaudhary’s first public incitement. In 2022, he was arrested for an earlier speech in which he called for Muslims to be killed and their women raped. He was later granted bail. His repeated hate speeches have made him a prominent figure in the Hindutva ecosystem, where calls for vigilante violence are dressed up as patriotic duty. He continues to operate with impunity, delivering dangerous speeches that directly violate India’s constitutional guarantees of equality, life, and religious freedom.
