New Delhi: A video allegedly showing BJP Mahila Morcha leader Dr. Udita Tyagi making inflammatory remarks against Muslims at a public gathering in Meerut has triggered a wave of reactions on social media, with netizens accusing her of hate speech and communal incitement.

According to claims circulating online, Dr. Udita Tyagi, a BJP Mahila Morcha’s zonal minister, was speaking at PVS Mall in Meerut when she allegedly urged Hindu families to marry early and have four children.

In the viral clip, she is also alleged to have referred to Muslims using abusive language and dehumanising terms, while making remarks linking them to violence. The video has since drawn strong criticism from activists and social media users, who demanded legal action.

There was no immediate official statement from the BJP or Dr. Tyagi on the authenticity of the clip or the remarks attributed to her.

Police in Meerut had not announced any FIR or action in connection with the viral video at the time of reporting.
