There is no question Bajrang Dal is banned Prominent Congress leader M Veerappa Moili said on Friday that the party proposing to ban the group is still under criticism from the BJP.
Talking to PTIMoyli said the reference should be seen as Congress issuing some kind of notice and warning to the Bajrang Dal, and not as if the party would ban it if power is voted on in the May 10 assembly elections in Karnataka.
On the matter, the former prime minister indicated that Congress would adopt the approach of then Home Minister Vallabhbhai Patel, who said he had lifted the ban on RSS after receiving a pledge from the organization that it would not indulge in “illegal activities”.
In its poll statement released earlier this week, Congress said it is committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organizations that spread hatred among communities on the basis of sect and religion.
The party said, “We believe that the law and the constitution are sacred and cannot be violated by individuals and organizations like Bajrang Dal, PFI or others who promote enmity or hatred, whether between majority or minority communities.
We will take decisive action in accordance with the law including a ban on such organisations.” Moyle said the “well-drafted” statement says that organizations and individuals who indulge in hate crimes, illegal and anti-patriotic activities will be dealt with strictly and in this context PFI and Bajrang are mentioned Dal, and that the party will go so far as to impose a ban.”It does not mean that we have done it, we will do it (the ban).”The former union minister said that the Congress party has “its own culture.”
Moyli said that when Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, Patel banned RSS, and an order was issued to ban the organization. But then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was of the opinion that “we will not take this kind of decision, because every person who belongs to RSS is not bad, only few people may indulge in it.”
Do not make them (ban) like this and so the Home Secretary wanted the ban to be lifted.” Before the ban was lifted, Patel obtained a pledge from the RSS not to indulge in politics or any such illegal activity. This pledge was made (by RSS). On this condition , The ban has been lifted. This is how Congress kindly handled the situation. In the future, we will do the same (in the case of Bajrang Dal).
“If the Bajrang Dal is not involved in hate crimes, anti-national or anti-constitutional issues, or they are not involved in crimes, then there is no need for a ban, let them act themselves, that’s it, this is (a statement Moyli said) a kind of notice given to them.
He said that the Congress’ proposal to ban the Bajrang Dal would not have a negative impact on the party’s electoral prospects in next week’s elections.
“People of Karnataka are vigilant, they are understanding, they know the importance of this. It is just a warning to those bodies (like the Bajrang Dal) and individuals to act and act in accordance with the constitution and also abide by the rule of law in the country,” Moyli added.
