This includes all (radical) outfits. Banning an outfit is not possible by a state government. The Bajrang Dal cannot be banned by the Karnataka government,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;DK Shivakumar will give more clarity&#8230; Even the Supreme Court has given judgement to stop hate politics. We have no proposal to ban the Bajrang Dal. I can tell you this as a leader,&#8221; Mr Moily, also a former Union Minister, added.<\/p>\n<p>The manifesto had said that the Congress party was committed to taking &#8220;firm and decisive action&#8221; against individuals and organizations spreading &#8220;enmity or hatred, whether among majority or minority communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It had named the Popular Front of India (PFI), a Muslim group banned by some states for alleged links to terrorism, and the Bajrang Dal, which is often linked with vigilantism, violence and moral policing.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of the Bajrang Dal in the manifesto had drawn sharp criticism from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused the Congress of insulting Lord Hanuman, a Hindu deity revered by the group.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that the Congress had a problem with Lord Ram, another Hindu god whose temple the BJP wants to build at a disputed site in Ayodhya.<\/p>\n<p>Hitting back, the Congress accused the Prime Minister of &#8220;hurting religious sentiments&#8221; of devotees by equating Lord Hanuman with the Bajrang Dal and demanded an apology from him.<\/p>\n<p>Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said it is shameful that the prime minister has drawn such a parallel, which is an insult to crores of devotees of Lord Hanuman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/karnataka-news\/veerappa-moily-on-bajrang-dal-row-congress-leader-says-karnataka-manifesto-has-no-proposal-to-ban-it-4003573\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Veerappa Moily said the Bajrang Dal cannot be banned by a state government.
