Meerut: A Hindu Yuva Vahini leader on Sunday alleged that the Muslim community was conspiring to increase their population to make India an Islamic nation by 2027. The remarks are likely stoke a controversy.
The right-wing organization was founded by Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath in 2002 and he is also the chief patron of the outfit.
"If the Muslim population continued to grow at the same pace, India will become an Islamic country by 2027. It's a conspiracy of the Muslim community. They want to have total control over India," Nagendra Pratap Tomar, the western Uttar Pradesh head of the outfit, said at a workers' conference.
