Over the past two years, Hindu organisations started receiving support from common Hindus across both big cities and small towns. These organisations remained vigilant during the Navratri festival.

The Hindu organisation reported that Aamir Khan had allegedly attended the Garba event with many girls, including minors. Upon checking his mobile phone, they discovered explicit pictures alongside chat conversations.

While Newslaundry and the Islamists deem “Sanatani only” restrictions in Garba events as discriminatory, and dismiss incidents of targeted harassment of Hindu women by Muslims as ‘Garba Jihad Hindutva Conspiracy Theory’, there is ample evidence to suggest that the ‘Jihadi’ threat is real.
