The remarks come a day after he said that leaders from all political parties will be approached for support. He added that both sides, with part of the ruling alliance or in the Opposition, will be called to strengthen the voice of ‘Sanatanis’.

Devkinandan Thakur's Three Demands
On November 11 also, he demanded the formation of a 'Sanatan Board' after Islamic cleric Tauqeer Raza made "inflammatory" and "provocative" remarks.
Talking to IANS, Devkinandan Thakur said, "We are demanding three things from the 'Sanatan Dharma Sansad.' Our first demand is to establish the 'Sanatan Board', our second demand is to form 'Krishna Bhoomi Mandir,' and our third demand is to take strict action in the Tirupati Balaji temple matter."He further slammed Raza for using unconstitutional words and demanded strict action against him."
He has used inflammatory remarks and I am requesting the government to take strict action on this matter. Raza is trying to scare 100 Crore 'Sanatanis.' There are some people in our country who are trying to create situations like Bangladesh," he concluded.
