During the event, religious leaders from the outskirts of Junagadh had come, and they made some provocative statements. These statements later went viral on social media. DySP Hitesh Dhandhalya said, “We have obtained the entire speech and sent it for the opinion of legal experts. If it is found to be provocative, a crime will be registered, and action will be taken.”

In the video, the Muslim cleric can be heard saying, “Those who are fighting us should know that it is the silence of some day; after that, the noise will come. Today is the day of dogs, but our day will also come.” DeshGujarat
