Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh said that the Hindu Swabhiman Yatra was a mission to save the existence of Hindus, on Thursday.
The first phase of Union Minister's Hindu Swabhiman Yatra will be launched from Bhagalpur on 18th October.
Speaking to IANS, Giriraj Singh said: "I believe that the demography of the entire country has completely changed. It is under a well-thought-out strategy. This has happened due to vote traders. It is not only Sahebganj, Purnia, and Katihar. The demography of 400 districts has changed drastically."
He further claimed that the country is not safe, they want to bring Sharia law into India.
"They want to bring Sharia law in India. But, as long as there are some people like us will oppose it," he added.
The yatra will start from Bhagalpur and will end in Kishanganj. Giriraj Singh's Hindu Swabhiman Yatra will pass through Muslim-dominated districts where Hindus live in fear and threat perception from Muslims.
This visit of Giriraj Singh will start from Bhagalpur on 18 October. He will reach Katihar on 19 October, Purnia on 20 October, Araria on 21 October, and then Kishanganj on 22 October. This is the first phase of the visit. The second phase has not been declared yet. This visit of his has raised the political temperature of Bihar.
On one side, RJD and Congress protest against this visit. Then on the other side, there is unhappiness in the JDU camp as well. The reason for this is pretty apparent. BJP has now shed off its craze for Muslim voters.
On Monday, the Bihar unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) distanced the party from the proposed Hindu Swabhiman Yatra, terming his move as a personal initiative that all BJP leaders were free to join as individuals also.
