'Stop Bajrang Dal arms training'

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JUNE 15. The Congress and the Communist Party of India (CPI) today demanded that the Government immediately stop the arms training being given by the Bajrang Dal to its activists.

If the Government did not take steps to put an end to this ``dangerous game'' it could become a precedence for other organisations, the Congress said. It alleged that in the name of fighting against the ISI, the outfit was building its private militia. ``The Bajrang Dal, with the support of the Uttar Pradesh Government, is starting a dangerous game in this country. Both the Bajrang Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party are playing with fire,'' the party spokesperson, Mr. S. Jaipal Reddy, said.

Expressing similar views, the CPI central committee, in a statement, said the Uttar Pradesh Government guest house was being made available for the training.The statements being made by the Bajrang Dal were not only provocative but also meant to intimidate those who oppose their aggressive Hindutva agenda, the CPI said.
