Bajrang Dal is in the headlines over the ‘love jihad’ issue in UP, and over allegations that Facebook looked the other way despite internal call to ban it.
Rashid was arrested earlier this month under ‘love jihad’ law. His wife, Pinky, says she doesn’t wish to live in UP where their marriage was put to test.

Facebook safety team concluded this year that Bajrang Dal supported violence against minorities and likely qualified as a ‘dangerous organisation’, the WSJ report said.
At an event last week, Mithun Nath, Bajrang Dal's Cachar district general secretary, threatened Hindus with 'dire consequences' if they visited any church to celebrate Christmas.

Compare Bajrang Dal with SIMI or Indian Mujahideen. How many people have been bombed, stabbed, or murdered by Bajrang Dal? You think Bajrang Dal’s interventions were offensive. Where were you when Indian Muslims joined hands with imported Jihadis and spread terror from north to south and east to west of India?
