Yati Narsinghanand Giri, the head priest (Mahant) of the Dasna Devi Temple in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, who is known for his controversial remarks about Islam and Muslims, has demanded military action against Al-Falah University. In a video statement, he declared, "Terrorist dens like Al-Falah University, AMU, Jamia Millia, Darul Uloom Deoband should be blown up with cannons by sending in the army."
The statement follows the detention of doctors linked to Al-Falah University by investigating agencies probing a fatal car blast near Delhi's Red Fort that claimed at least 12 lives. The suspects are accused of involvement in the explosion.
In the video, Narsinghanand said, "Al-Falah, this so-called university in Faridabad, is where the arrested terrorist doctors and others come from. They even held mourning at Al-Falah University for the terrorists who died in the blasts. Hindus, look at what is happening to you. They mourn their terrorists, yet you abandoned me simply for telling the world the truth about these jihadis. I openly insulted them and confronted their leaders. They stand by their people in every circumstance, that's why they have '57 countries.' But you desert those who fight for you, which is why you have nothing left. A community without fighters cannot survive."
"Let me be, this is the final phase of my life. What was meant to happen has already occurred," he added. "I want to tell you, if you wish your children to live and your lineage to endure, first learn to support those who fight."
"Terrorist dens like Al-Falah University, AMU, Jamia Millia, Darul Uloom Deoband should be blown up with cannons by sending in the army. Pressure your leaders to demolish them with cannons, otherwise, there will be no escape," he said.
