Chandru Moger is a far-right Hindu extremist from the southern state of Karnataka. He is the state coordinator of the Hindu militant organization- Hindu Janjagruti Samiti. Moger is known for anti-Muslim inflammatory speeches and propaganda campaigns.

Monger has given calls for an ‘economic boycott’ of Muslims in the state.

“There is a monopoly on the fruit business by Muslims. We are also seeing that they are spitting on fruits and bread before selling it,” said Chandru Moger. He said that these Muslim businesses are performing  “spitting Jihad” he said.

“I am requesting all Hindus to help end the monopoly of Muslims in the fruit business. I also urge them to only purchase fruits from Hindu vendors,” he added.

The Karnataka police refused to register a case against him until a Bengaluru Court directed the police to investigate the matter.

Notably, with the efforts of Hindu extremist organizations like HJS, Karnataka has been rendered one of the most oppressive and hostile places in India for Muslims to be.

The HJS has conducted various anti-muslim propaganda campaigns in the state, including the demands to ban Halal meat ( meat obtained through a permissible way of animal slaughter in Islam), Hijab, and Azaan ( Muslim call to prayer).
