Hindu priest Yati Narsinghanand has reportedly delivered another allegedly hateful speech. This marks the third time in less than 6 months when the head priest of the Dasna Devi temple has been accused of inciting hate and calling for violence.

The latest instance occurred at a gathering in Himachal Pradesh's Una, as per an NDTV report. The speakers reportedly asked Hindus to pick up arms, and allegedly called for targeted killings of Muslims, as per NDTV.

The speeches were a violation of Yati Narsinghanand's bail conditions, according to the report. Narsinghanand had been arrested in January this year on similar allegations, but secured bail in February.

In December 2021, at a 'dharma sansad' in Haridwar, Yati Narsinghanand and others had allegedly called for violence against Muslims. Then, on April 3, Narsinghanand reportedly attended a Hindu Mahapanchayat in Delhi. At the event, he reportedly said that India will have a Muslim in the next 2 decades, and that would lead to 50% people converting their religion.
