Speaking in Mysuru Thursday, Shivakumar reportedly added, “What we have said in the manifesto, see it clearly. S everal Congress leaders, including Randeep Singh Surjewala and Shivakumar, have tried to draw a differentiating line between Bajrang Bali (Lord Hanuman) and the Bajrang Dal. Shivakumar Thursday visited the Chamundeshwari temple in Mysuru and reportedly announced a special committee to oversee the development of prominent Hanuman temples in the state and another committee to oversee the development of the Anjanadri Hills, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. Meanwhile, Karnataka Congress president D.K. The BJP has also instructed its workers to chant the Hanuman Chalisa in temples across Karnataka. The Bajrang Dal, the youth wing of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, takes its name from Bajrang Bali, another name for Lord Hanuman. We will take decisive action as per law including imposing a ban on any such organisations,” said the manifesto, released by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge Tuesday.īJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi have lashed out at the Congress for allegedly insulting the Hindu god Hanuman and trying to “lock up those who chant ‘Jai Bajrang Bali’”.

“We believe that law and Constitution is sacrosanct and cannot be violated by individuals and organisations like Bajrang Dal, PFI or others promoting enmity or hatred, whether among majority or minority communities.

The clarification came amid a concerted attack by the BJP on the Congress over its manifesto, which referred to possible action against organisations including the Bajrang Dal and the already banned Popular Front of India (PFI).
