New Delhi: More than 100 people from the Bajrang Dal, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and Vishva Hindu Parishad gathered outside the GTB Enclave police station, chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ (‘Hail Lord Ram’).
This gathering occurred because inside the police station, members of the Christian community had been attempting to file a first information report (FIR) against the group since noon on Sunday (August 20).
They alleged that they had been assaulted with sticks by members of the Bajrang Dal while praying.
“Every Sunday, when we gather to pray in church, we do so in fear – the fear of being attacked,” said an anonymous Christian man.
Some members from the group were also present inside the police station, where they continued to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’.
Around 10:30 or 11 am, people were praying inside the Siyyon Prathna Bhawan in the Tahirpur area when suddenly, a few individuals holding speakers entered the Bhawan. The speakers blared, “Hindu rashtra banayenge, Jai Shri Ram.” (Hindi for ‘We will make a Hindu nation, hail Lord Ram’.)
