Wrestlers are staging a protest demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and his removal from the post following allegations of sexual harassment.
The Chief Minister said that the Congress party wants to ban an outfit which is dedicated to nationalism and by talking about banning Bajrang Dal the Congress is playing games with the Hindu faith.
"On one hand, they had let loose an anti-India organisation like the PFI to carry forward its anti-national activities, and on the other were seeking a ban on an organisation like Bajrang Dal, which was dedicated to national and social service and devoted to Lord Hanuman," CM Yogi said.
Amid the row over the Congress party's manifesto mentioning "decisive action" against Bajrang Dal, the Chandigarh unit of the organisation on Saturday sent a notice of defamation to the party demanding damages worth Rs 100 crores.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Prakash Reddy on Friday asked Congress leaders to apologise for their alleged anti-national, anti-social and anti-cultural activities.
Amid political uproar over the Congress manifesto for Karnataka elections declaring a ban on Bajrang Dal, former chief minister and Congress leader Jagadish Shettar said there is no question of banning the right-wing outfit.
