Sillod: In a controversial speech delivered in Sillod, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, on August 14, Suresh Chavhanke, the editor-in-chief of Sudarshan News, made several inflammatory remarks targeting the Muslim community. Chavhanke, known for his provocative rhetoric, urged an economic boycott of Muslims and called for the removal of what he described as "infiltrators" from the country.
Chavhanke claimed that there are 10 crore "infiltrators" in India, including Bangladeshis, Rohingyas, Pakistanis, and Afghans, who he blamed for the majority of crimes in Maharashtra.
He further alleged that the population of Hindus in the state has significantly declined and justified the demolition of a mosque near Vishalgad, comparing it to actions taken by Shivaji as claimed by him.

New Delhi, May 6 (PTI): The Indian Air Force will carry out a two-day mega military exercise along the border with Pakistan from Wednesday that will involve all the frontline fighter jets including Rafale, Su-30 and Jaguar aircraft, sources in the defence establishment said on Tuesday.
The exercise is taking place amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
India's civil aviation authorities have already issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for the major air exercise that will largely take place along the southern and western section of the Indo-Pakistan border.
India's frontline fighter jets including the Rafale, Su-30 MKI, MiG-29, Mirage-2000, Tejas and AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft are set to feature in the exercise, the sources said.
In the course of the exercise, the IAF will simulate enemy targets on ground and in the air with deadly precision, they said.
The militaries of both India and Pakistan are on a high alert following rising tensions between the two nations.
Soon after the Pahalgam terror attack, India, citing "cross-border linkages" to the strike, promised severe punishment to those involved in it.
In a high-level meeting with the top defence brass on April 29, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the armed forces have "complete operational freedom" to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India's response to the terror attack.
Air Chief Marshal A P Singh met Prime Minister Modi on Sunday and the Chief of Air Staff briefed him about the IAF's operational readiness.
On Saturday, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi apprised the prime minister on the overall situation in the critical sea lanes in the Arabian Sea.
