By Mausami Singh: Lord Hanuman depicts piousness, commitment to reverence and duty and symbolizes service and sacrifice, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the grand old party for promising to ban the Bajrang Dal and other similar entities if it wins the Karnataka polls.
“Lord Hanuman depicts piousness, Lord Hanuman depicts commitment to reverence & duty, Lord Hanuman symbolises service and sacrifice. To compare Lord Hanuman as synonymous to any individual or organisation is an insult and the PM is hurting the feelings and sentiments of millions of Bhakta of Hanuman ji,” Surjewala said.
“Of course, these canards were manufactured in the factory of BL Santosh, the self-nominated Chanakya. The PM must apologize for equating Lord Hanuman with Bajrang Dal. Millions of Hanuman Bhakts will fight this with full rigour. The Kannadigas are ready for 40% Bhrastasura Dahana!” he added.

“The Prime Minister and company refuse to speak about scam-ridden 40 per cent BJP sarkara and are merely looking for lame-duck excuses to polarise the election. For Modi ji and the BJP, each election is about divisions on the ground of religion instead of answering the basic issues of nauseating corruption, back-breaking price rise, rampant unemployment, ugly and unacceptable concentration of wealth and an all-pervading atmosphere of hate,” Surjewala said.
“The Constitution and law are clear – any individual or organization spreading hatred or enmity must be proceeded against in accordance with law. The duty to follow Raj Dharma is of the Prime Minister and the chief minister but they refuse to do so,” he added.
Another party spokesperson, Pawan Khera, said: “How dare the prime minister compare the Bajrang Dal of ISI-famed Dhruv Saxena with Lord Bajrang Bali? Mr Modi, please apologise to the millions of devotees of Lord Hanuman.”

Hours after the Congress released its poll manifesto for the May 10 Karnataka Assembly election, PM Modi lashed out at the grand old party over its promise to ban the Bajrang Dal. The Congress was attempting to lock up those who worship Lord Hanuman, the PM said.
In its manifesto, the Congress promised, “We believe that law and constitution is sacrosanct and cannot be violated by individuals and organisations like Bajrang Dal, PFI or others promoting enmity or hatred, whether among majority or minority communities. We will take decisive action as per law, including imposing a ban on such organisations.”
