Bajrang Dal

While other Congress bigwigs are attempting other damage control strategies, DK Shivakumar has played the "soft Hindutva" card

Karandlaje also urged the people of the state to join the Hanuman Chalisa recitation programs held by the BJP across the state.

The former Karnataka CM also said that the Congress promised action against outfits like Bajrang Dal in the manifesto in the backdrop of the recent Supreme Court observation against hate politics.

SDPI which is the political wing of the banned PFI declared that it would contest only 16 Assembly seats in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 in order to help Congress

The PFI was given a huge opportunity to grow in the state of Karnataka when the Congress was in power. The Congress remained in power in the state from May 2013 to May 2018 when Siddaramaiah was the Chief Minister.

According to Harbans Singh, SP City, "The murder report has been filed. Police are raiding in search of the accused."

PM Modi hit out at Congress, saying that they earlier had a problem with those who revered Lord Ram and now with those who revere Lord Hanuman

Congress' manifesto for the upcoming Karnataka Elections vowed to ban Bajrang Dal if it's voted to power in the state.

The VHP, and Bajrang Dal have called for a 12-hour bandh in the western districts of Sambalpur, Debgarh, Jharsuguda, Bargarh, Sundargarh, Balangir, Subarnapur, Boudh, Kalahandi, Nuapada, Koraput, Nabrangpur, Malkangiri, and Rayagada.

Videos of the incident show continuous stone pelting near a masjid and adjacent lane. The bikes and scooters used in the rally are seen lying scattered as the stone pelting disrupts the bike rally. Police personnel were seen making futile attempts to prevent the mob from attacking.
