The VHP and Bajrang Dal have decided to chant Hanuman Chalisa on May 9 throughout the country. According to VHP secretary general Milind Parande, the programme has been decided to invoke ”Bajrang Bali to give ‘Sadbuddhi’ (good sense) to the Congress and other organisations and activists who stand to advocate for and promote the terrorists, anti-Bharat elements and anti-Hindu mindsets.” “It is very insulting that in the election manifesto of Karnataka Congress, the party has promised a ban on Bajrang Dal,” Parande said in a statement. ”The Hindu society will surely teach a democratic lesson to the unreasonable perpetrators for such humiliation,” he added.
