Hyderabad, June 17 -- The Bengaluru police booked Hindutva supporter and priest of Samartha Sridharashrama Trust, Atmananda Saraswati Swamiji, for delivering a hate speech against Muslims and Christians.

A video of the address went viral on social media on June 15, drawing widespread condemnation from viewers.

"Only Sanatana Dharma is the true religion in this country. All others are just groups," later adding that "Muslims and Christians must be eliminated using modern weapons," the Swami is heard speaking in the viral clip.

Calling on Hindus to communal violence, he said "There is no wrong in killing thousands if they go against Sanatana Dharma. Our earlier leaders made a mistake by sparing them out of mercy. Now this must stop."
