Indore: The Bajrang Dal is not afraid of ban threat in view of Congress's victory in the Karnataka elections, a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) functionary said on Saturday.
“If they ban Bajrang Dal out of the hatred for Hindus, necessary steps will be taken," VHP general secretary Milind Parande told reporters in Indore.
He said during the Ram janmabhoomi movement, the Bajrang Dal was banned but the court quashed it saying it was wrong.
A major row had erupted during the campaign for Karnataka Assembly polls after the Congress, in its election manifesto, said it was committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred amongst communities on grounds of caste or religion and cited the examples of the Popular Front of India (PFI) and Bajrang Dal.
