HRD members recently urinated on the Akbar Road signboard and pasted a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj poster over it. This wasn’t just an act of vandalism but a clear attempt to insult Mughal history and assert their ideology. By doing this, they wanted to send a message that names associated with Muslim rulers should be erased.
One of the main people involved in this act was Daksh (the bearded man), who was also the same person who slapped Kanhaiya Kumar along with another HRD member, Annu Choudhary. HRD was also responsible for the JNU attack on January 5, 2020, where masked men armed with rods assaulted students and faculty. They operate from Shalimar Garden, Ghaziabad, under the leadership of Pinki Choudhary, who has been charged under the Gunda Act but continues to run the group with police support.
HRD claims to protect Hindu culture but primarily targets Muslims. They consider Mughals as invaders and want to remove their influence from public spaces. Their activities go beyond renaming places, often leading to open confrontations and violence.
While they have done some good, like rescuing cows from illegal slaughter and helping assault victims, these actions don’t change the fact that they are mostly focused on spreading hate. I know this because I was personally associated with them and have seen how they operate.
