The Akhil Bhartiya Muslim Yuva Ekta Committee on July 17 demanded a ban on organisations like the VHP, Bajrang Dal and Shiv Sena, saying the outfits are “working against national interests”. An 11-member delegation of the Committee, led by Mohammad Shakeel Saifi, met President Pratibha Patil and also urged her to ensure immediate arrest of persons responsible for destroying the boundary wall and the inauguration plaque of a new Haj House at Dwarka in national capital on July 14.
“We have submitted a petition to the President asking her to ban VHP, Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal and the newly formed Rashtriya Shiv Sena since they are working to disrupt the Hindu-Muslim unity in the country,” Saifi, also a member of the Delhi State Haj Committee, told agencies. The delegation met the President in the wake of the damage done to the boundary wall and the Haj House. According to a complaint filed by the Delhi Haj Committee at Sector 23 police station in Dwarka, activists of Shiv Sena and VHP had allegedly destroyed the boundary wall of the Haj House.
