By Our Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR, OCT. 11. The Global Council of Indian Christians has demanded a ban on the activities of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal and promulgation of an ordinance to stop hate crimes in the country.

Addressing presspersons here today, Mr. Sajan K. George, national convener of the Council, alleged that the activities of the two organisations should be banned as they were conducting firearms and small arms training camps and were terrorising people in several parts of the country.

Mr. George also demanded that a Joint Parliamentary Committee be formed to scrutinise the activities of all such organisations. The Chief Ministers of different States should be consulted by the Centre on the issue, he said. About the ban on SIMI, Mr. George said that the Central Government should have consulted the Chief Ministers of different States before banning the organisation.
