The Chandigarh unit of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday issued a legal notice to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accusing him of making defamatory remarks against its offshoot Bajrang Dal. The right-wing organisation demanded a compensation of ₹100 crore from Mr. Kharge for the same.
To mention, the Congress in its election manifesto in the Karnataka poll, had claimed that if it came to power, the party would take firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations such as the Bajrang Dal and the Popular Front of India (PFI) that spread hatred in society in the name of caste and religion.
The same had created a controversy when right-wing organisations objected on it being compared with the PFI which as per the VHP, was a terrorist organisation, banned across various nations.
