Responding to the Congress manifesto announced ahead of the Karnataka Assembly elections on Tuesday (May 2) that promises to impose a ban on the Bajrang Dal, an affiliate of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and the Popular Front of India (PFI) if it wins the poll, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) staged a protest outside the Congress headquarters in New Delhi.
The members of the right wing organisation lashed out at the Opposition party and termed its manifesto “a deliberate attempt to disturb the peace within the country”.
“The Congress in its manifesto had compared a patriotic organisation like the Bajrang Dal with a banned, terrorist and anti-national organisation PFI is very unfortunate. People of the country will not accept it. The Bajrang Dal accepts this challenge and will answer it through all democratic ways,” Surendra Jain, international general secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, said in a video statement.
