GG News Bureau

New Delhi,  14th June. Bajrang Dal activists will hold a nationwide protest on Thursday against the recent incidents of violence in several parts of the country over alleged controversial statements against Prophet Mohammad, the Vishva Hindu Parishad announced on Tuesday.

VHP said that its youth wing activists (Bajrang Dal) will hold a sit-in in district administration headquarters across the country on Thursday against the “growing extremist incidents by Islamic Jihadi fundamentalists”, and also submit a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind.

Many parts of the country witnessed violent protests, including Delhi’s Jama Masjid, on June 10 against the alleged controversial comments on Prophet Mohammad by suspended BJP functionaries Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal.

In Jharkhand, some policemen were wounded in a bid to control protestors, while authorities in Jammu imposed a curfew in a few areas. In parts of Uttar Pradesh, demonstrators pelted stones at the police, prompting the force to baton-charge them and use tear gas shells.

“Against the growing extremist incidents by Islamic Jihadi fundamentalists in the country, the VHP’s youth wing Bajrang Dal will now take to the streets,” Secretary General Parande said.

“Bajrang Dal activists will hold a sit-in across all district headquarters on Thursday against continuous attack on Hindus by the Jihadi fundamentalists and submit a memorandum to the President,” he added.

Parande demanded that a strict vigil be kept at the mosques from where the mobs allegedly came out after Friday prayers and carried out violence in parts of the country on June 10

“Those who instigated the mob should be arrested immediately and strict action be taken against them,” Parande demanded, adding, “Security of those being threatened be ensured. Those threatening be arrested and criminal cases be filed against them.”

Parande demanded that authorities should also tighten the noose around Muslim outfits “like Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, mosques and people of jihadi mindset who are source of food and inspiration for such rioters”.
