Congress in its Karnataka manifesto vows to ban Bajrang Dal, equates it to PFI

Op India  

On Tuesday, May 2, Congress released the party’s manifesto for the upcoming Karnataka Elections. The controversial manifesto released by the Congress Party also went on to brazenly equate the Hindu activist group to the banned Islamist terrorist organisation Popular Front of India. We also banned cow slaughter, provided healthcare facilities to people, ensured proper sanitation facilities and ensured overall development in Karnataka,” Rahul Gandhi, Congress and the anti-Hindu mindset That the sheer anti-Hindu mindset the Congress party has displayed by proposing the ban on Bajrang Dal in its poll manifesto does not come as a surprise. Be it Rahul Gandhi’s RSS killed Mahatma Gandhi remark or Congress leader Digvijay Singh stating that in India, Bajrang Dal and BJP are funded by Pakistan’s ISI, the Congress party, due to their inherent anti-Hindu proclivities, has always harboured hostility against Hindu organisations like the VHP and Bajrang Dal. Given the history of Congress’ proximity to PFI and the promise in their manifesto to ban Bajrang Dal, it would not be far fetched to believe that Congress has added already-banned PFI in the list simply to monkey balance and mask their true intentions of banning Hindu organisations which defend Hindus against the onslaught of Jihadi violence from outfits like PFI.
