Akhand Bharat Morcha
The Delhi police on Monday began investigating a motorbike
rally organised by a Hindutva group called Akhand Bharat Morcha on April
1, ostensibly to mark Hanuman Jayanti. Several hundred of the group’s
supporters had stopped by four mosques in East Delhi and, with the
police watching, brandished swords and clubs, burst firecrackers, threw
colour and raised saffron flags on the mosques, and shouted allegedly
“threatening slogans” against the Muslim community.
