The three-day French Sansad ended on Monday.

New Delhi:
Open call for genocide and use of weapons against Muslims, made at a “French Sansad“or the religious conference in Haridwar in Uttarakhand, which has sparked outrage and condemnation but the speakers flaunted their connection to the ruling BJP and said they sided with the hate speech mine.
As clips from the three-day event held Friday through Monday went viral on social media, former military leaders, activists and even an international tennis legend requested action. But four days later, there was no FIR or any action on serious hate speech.
The conclave was organized by Yati Narasimhanand, a religious leader who has been accused in the past of inciting violence with his inflammatory speeches. According to a police complaint filed by Trinamool Parliament leader and RTI activist Saket Gokhale, others involved in the gathering were Prabodhanand Giri of Hindu Raksha Sena, BJP women’s wing leader Udita Tyagi and prime minister BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay, who was released on bail in the hate speech case.
Aside from this, there are other ways to hold these monsters accountable that will be shared later in the day.
They were NOT allowed to leave this time.
Also, to the parties to the Uttarakhand Election dispute: PLS supports this with your legal resources.

Prabodhanand Giri is heard saying in a video: “Like Myanmar, our police, our politicians, our Army and every Hindu must pick up weapons and proceed to Safayi Abhiyan (clean up). No other choice.”
Speaking to NDTV today, Prabodhanand was indifferent. “I’m not ashamed of what I said. I’m not afraid of the police. I stand by my statement,” he said.
The seer is often photographed with BJP leaders, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. In a recent photo, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami is seen touching his leg.
Another video from the controversial event shows Pooja Shakun Pandey, aka “Sadhvi Annapurna”, making a call to arm and urge violence against Muslims.
“If you want to finish them off, then destroy them… We need 100 soldiers who can kill 20,000 of them to win,” she said.
Speaking to NDTV, she emphasized her comments and said: “India’s constitution is wrong. Indians should pray to Nathuram Godse (Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin). I’m not afraid of the police.”
BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay, sharing the stage with seers, distributed copies of what he called the “Bhagwa (saffron) constitution”. Defending himself in a video, he said today that he only attended the last part of the event and had nothing to do with what was said earlier.
“What happened before I left, I don’t know. I went on the last day for 30 minutes. Since I was late, my time was reduced to 10 minutes from 30. I took a copy of I distributed copies to several and discussed terms related to population control, conversion testing, infiltration… If distributing or discussing the constitution is a crime , then I committed a crime,” said Mr. Upadhyay.
In one of the videos, the speaker, Swami Dharam Das Maharaj, talks about “becoming Nathuram Godse” and shot Manmohan Singh (former Prime Minister) in parliament.
“If I was in parliament when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that minorities have the first right to national resources, I would follow Nathuram Godse, I shot him six times in the chest with a pistol,” Dharam said. Das said.
Police stated they were unable to file an FIR as no one has filed a complaint so far. “Police are monitoring the situation,” said Police Superintendent Haridwar Swatantra Kumar Singh when it was pointed out that divisive speeches had been made public.
A video showing a gathering in robes pledging to fight for a “Hindu-only nation” prompted a reaction from tennis legend Martina Navratilova.
“We swear to fight and kill [Muslims] to make India a Hindu-only nation,” Hindu Yuva Vahini recited the oath.
“What is happening?!?” – Martina Navratilova tweeted on the video.

NDTV was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the clip.
“WHY CAN’T THIS STOP STOP? With our people of Jawans facing enemies on two fronts, do we want a communal bloodbath, domestic unrest and national disgrace It is puzzling that anything that damages national unity and unity jeopardizes India’s national security,” tweeted former Navy Chief Arun Prakash.
Former Army Commander-in-Chief VP Mallik responded to the tweet: “Agreed. Such statements disturb public harmony and affect national security. Actions requested by the Civil Administration. bridge.”
Many of those who spoke at the conclave were repeat offenders.
Pooja Shakun, for example, made headlines in 2019 when she fired a shot at a Mahatma Gandhi effigy, held up slogans praising Nathuram Godse and set the effigy on fire.
