Gowhatti, Dec 27, 2021: A Hindutva mobe of Bajrang Dal stopped Hindus from celebrating Christmas in Indian distrubed state Assam. The Hindutva Bajrang Dal goons manhandled non-Christian revellers at the town’s Presbyterian Church near the Cachar district police headquarters of the state, locals said.
In a video uploaded on social media, one Rangirkhari claiming to be a leader of the Bajrang Dal’s local unit, said “We have issue is with the Hindus who went against their dharma to sing Merry Christmas instead of observing ‘Tulsi Divas’ .
In the video, Bajrang Dal members donning saffron scarves and chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ also said they locked the church after 11 p.m.
A similar incident happened in Silchar during Christmas in 2020 with members of radical Hindu groups preventing Hindus from participating in a festival “meant for Christians only”. agencies
