Bajrang Dal leader Vikas Verma, speaking at a weekly Hanuman Chalisa event, praised Bajrang Dal members for what he described as “attacking Islamic attackers” and “protecting cows.” He alleged that ISI agents were living in India and targeted those who had opposed military escalation during the recent Indo-Pak conflict following the Pahalgam attack. Citing former Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat’s “2.5 front war” concept, he warned of internal threats and derogatorily referred to such individuals as “baby snakes.” He urged attendees to identify people they believe to be threats in their surroundings and called it a moral duty.
