A BJP ally in the Uttar Pradesh government has blamed the Bajrang Dal and the VHP for mob violence in Bulandshahr on Monday, 3 December, that killed a police inspector and a local resident, demanding that they should be banned.
Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief OP Rajbhar said the two organisations are creating a rift between Hindus and Muslims with an eye on the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
"The VHP and the Bajrang Dal are responsible for the unfortunate incident in Bulandshahr. They did not follow the law and should be banned,” Rajbhar, who is part of the state cabinet, said.
He said he would meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and ask him to ban such organisations.
