Bajrang Dal Denies October 10 Jantar Mantar Mobilisation Claims
Posts online said a very large group would gather at Jantar Mantar on October 10, 2026.
They claimed more than five lakh Hindu activists would take part.
Bajrang Dal said it was not planning such a gathering.
It called the claim misleading.
Videos showed crowds, flags and vehicles, but the reports said the footage did not prove the crowds were at Jantar Mantar.
The Cockroach Janta Party has separately announced a protest there.
The party wants Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign.
It objects to changes to electoral rolls called the Special Intensive Revision.
Bajrang Dal denied planning to mobilise workers at Jantar Mantar on October 10, 2026.
Viral posts claimed more than five lakh Hindu activists associated with Bajrang Dal, the RSS and VHP would gather there.
The group called the mobilisation claims misleading propaganda and said it opposes anarchic protests.
Videos accompanying the claims showed large crowds, flags and vehicles, but the available reports said they did not establish that the footage showed Jantar Mantar.
The Cockroach Janta Party announced a protest called “Jantar Mantar 2.0,” seeking Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over electoral-roll revisions.
