Ban Bajrang Dal, says Bukhari

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 28. The Jama Masjid Shahi Imam, Syed Ahmad Bukhari, today demanded a ban on the Bajrang Dal for providing armed training to its activists and distributing tridents among them. Talking to presspersons after the Friday prayers, he said, ``why is the Government not banning the Bajrang Dal which is giving armed training to its workers and distributing `trishuls' among them?''

Alleging that it was the Bajrang Dal which was behind the brutal slaying of the Christian missionary, Graham Stewart Staines and his sons in Orissa, the Imam said, ``Why is the Government giving these people a free run?''
