Bajrang Dal Denies Viral Claims of October 10 Mobilisation
Some online posts said a very large group would gather in Delhi on October 10.
They claimed the group included more than five lakh Hindu activists.
Bajrang Dal said it was not planning such a gathering.
It called the posts misleading.
The posts showed videos of crowds, but they did not prove the crowds were at Jantar Mantar.
Separately, the Cockroach Janta Party has announced a protest there.
The party wants Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign.
Its protest is about changes to electoral rolls called the Special Intensive Revision.
Bajrang Dal said it has no plan to mobilise workers at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on October 10.
Viral posts claimed more than five lakh Hindu activists linked to the RSS and VHP would gather there.
The organisation called those claims misleading propaganda and said it opposes anarchic protests.
The posts included crowd videos, but the footage did not establish that it showed Jantar Mantar.
The Cockroach Janta Party announced a protest seeking Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over electoral-roll revisions.
