Purna Chandra Mondal, a senior leader of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), has consistently used public platforms to fan communal hatred and push extreme anti-Muslim views. Over the years, Mondal has established himself as a loud voice within the Hindutva ecosystem, known for threatening violence, distorting history, and peddling dangerous conspiracies in the name of Hindu unity.

On October 18, 2021, while addressing a rally in Silchar, Assam, in response to attacks on Hindus during Durga Puja in Bangladesh, Mondal threatened cross-border retaliation. He declared that if the Indian government failed to act, the VHP, RSS, Bajrang Dal, and other Sangh outfits would march to Bangladesh to “take revenge.” Branding Bangladesh as the “land of Mir Jafar,” he called for aggressive diplomatic and ideological action against the country.

Three years later, on December 2, 2024, at a VHP event in Agartala, Tripura, Mondal once again resorted to communal provocation. Speaking under the pretext of protesting atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, he revived the conspiracy theory of “love jihad,” accused Muslim vendors of “spitting on food,” and falsely claimed that only one Muslim had been martyred during India’s freedom struggle, while thousands of Hindu youths had laid down their lives. Through this, he not only tried to stigmatize the Muslim community but also rewrote India’s independence history to fit a Hindu supremacist framework.

Just two days later, on December 4, 2024, Mondal escalated his attacks further at a protest outside the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala. Outraged over the arrest of a Hindu monk in Bangladesh, he demanded that India sever all ties with the neighboring country, including stopping food and aid supplies. He called for a full boycott of Bangladesh if it did not “change its approach” toward Hindus, reinforcing his pattern of hate-filled, ultra-nationalist threats.
