A video of the seer had surfaced on social media platforms where he could be seen allegedly making hate speech against Muslims.

He could be heard saying there are 80 per cent Muslims, 20 per cent Hindus in Khairabad and the condition of Hindus is not in a good state.

He alleged that during a 'Kalash Yatra', the Muslim community was prepared with sticks and stones to repeat a Karauli-like incident but due to police, it didn't happen

He further alleged, "If they'll harass our daughters, their daughters won't be safe too." (ANI)
