Lok Sabha MP Pappu Yadav called for the banning of Bajrang Dal and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), labelling their members as “hooligans” in the wake of recent violence in Nagpur.
Yadav claimed that these groups, which he believes are protected by the government, are harming the country’s social fabric and threatening its economic progress.
Speaking about the violence, Lok Sabha MP Pappu Yadav said, “People from Bajrang Dal and Vishva Hindu Parishad are hooligans; they should be banned. These people are protected by the government. I believe that the country’s economy and progress are being affected now. There is a need to think on this now.”
Yadav also responded to JD(U) leader Sanjeev Kumar’s demands to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to implement the ‘Yogi model’– a hardline approach to law enforcement — to deal with criminals.
“There is no Yogi model. A criminal is a criminal and can’t be categorised by caste or religion. People have always followed Bihar and not the other way around,” said Yadav.
