Bajrang Dal Violence: Calls for Ban Grow After Bareilly Birthday Party Attack & Ghaziabad Sword Distribution

This special report highlights a disturbing trend of moral policing and violence by right-wing groups in North India. The programme details a recent incident in Bareilly where Bajrang Dal workers targeted a nursing student’s birthday party, alleging 'Love Jihad' and assaulting guests. It also covers the Hindu Raksha Dal distributing swords in Ghaziabad. A panel of experts, including a senior advocate and a former IPS officer, debates whether a ban on such outfits is legally tenable or if stricter law enforcement is the solution. The discussion also addresses the silence of political leadership and the need for spiritual leaders to condemn hate.
