In recent times, Delhi has witnessed a series of administrative actions against several mosques, stirring controversy and debate across the city. At the heart of these actions stands Preet Singh, a figure whose words and deeds have sparked both admiration and deep-seated criticism.

From Promises to Actions

Preet Singh’s confrontational stance became public knowledge when he boldly declared, "Yaad hai na maine kya kaha tha, tumhari har ek gali ka jawab tumhari Masjid giraker dunga." ("Do you remember what I said? I will bring down your mosque in response to every street of  yours.". This statement, coupled with his involvement in actions against mosques in Bawana, JJ Colony, Shakarpur, and most recently, #MangolpuriMasjid, has made him a polarizing figure in the capital.

Founder of Save India Foundation

Singh is the founder of the NGO Save India Foundation, operating from Rohini, where he currently resides. His NGO's activities focus on what he perceives as protecting Indian interests, often clashing with the sentiments and rights of minority communities.

Despite his fervent activism, Singh’s personal life paints a poignant picture. He lives separated from his parents, wife, and 10-year-old son, who have distanced themselves from him due to his controversial views and actions. Even his circle of friends has dwindled, reluctant to maintain ties with him amidst the controversy he generates.
