VHP to oppose ban move by
Maharashtra government

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Tuesday said it would oppose 'tooth and nail' any move by the Maharashtra government to ban it and its youth wing, the Bajrang Dal.

"We are only engaged in creating awareness among Hindus in a constitutional and democratic way. We are neither violent nor anti-national," VHP central secretary and spokesman Veereshwar Dwivedi told PTI.

Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Kripa Shankar Singh had on Monday said that the state government was likely to initiate moves to ban the Bajrang Dal and the VHP in the state in the wake of the communal violence in Gujarat.

Dwivedi said the VHP would oppose tooth and nail any move to ban the two organisations.
