“D K Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah, we have banned PFI. Are you people taking revenge by banning Bajrang Dal? Bajrang Dal is not an anti-social organization. It is a force of activists that is always ready to protect the Hindus, cows and modesty of Hindu sisters.

“Is it right on your part to announce the banning of Bajrang Dal to appease Muslims? The mentality of Congress people, who see both PFI and Bajrang Dal with the same view, is sick. We have banned PFI because it is a terrorist organization.

“Bajrang Dal is an organization of Hindu society and protecting the interests of the country. Does Congress ban patriotism?” he asked.
