Indore, May 13: The Bajrang Dal is not afraid of ban threat in view of Congress's victory in the Karnataka elections, a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) functionary said on Saturday.

“If they ban Bajrang Dal out of the hatred for Hindus, necessary steps will be taken," VHP general secretary Milind Parande told reporters in Indore. He said during the Ram janmabhoomi movement, the Bajrang Dal was banned but the court quashed it saying it was wrong. Karnataka Assembly Elections 2023: CM Basavaraj Bommai Recites Hanuman Chalisa, Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje Chants ‘Jai Shri Ram’ After Congress Promise To Ban Bajrang Dal in the State (Watch Videos).
