Bajrang Dal To Mobilise 5 Lakh Hindu Activists at Jantar Mantar on October 10? Here’s the Truth
Viral social media posts claimed that more than five lakh Hindu activists linked to the RSS and VHP would gather at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on October 10. Bajrang Dal has denied the claim, calling it 'misleading propaganda' and saying it has no such mobilisation plan.
New Delhi, October 8: A claim that more than five lakh Hindu activists linked to the RSS and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) will gather at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on October 10 has gone viral on social media. However, Bajrang Dal has denied the claim, saying there is no plan to mobilise its workers at the protest site.
The claim surfaced amid preparations for a protest announced by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar on October 10. The party has said it will seek the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over its objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

What Did The Viral Posts Claim?
Several posts shared on X on October 7 claimed that Bajrang Dal workers and more than five lakh Hindu activists associated with the RSS and VHP had started arriving in Delhi and would gather at Jantar Mantar on October 10.
One widely circulated post described the proposed gathering as a 'historic day' and claimed that more than five lakh Hindu activists would be present at the protest venue.
Bajrang Dal Denies 5 Lakh Hindu Activists’ Mobilisation At Jantar Mantar On October 10
देश में किसी भी प्रकार के अराजक प्रदर्शन का बजरंग दल (@BajrangDalOrg ) सदा विरोध करता रहा है।
मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त श्री ज्ञानेश कुमार की आड में हो रहे ऐसे प्रदर्शनों का भी बजरंग दल विरोध करता है।
वहीं दूसरी, ओर कुछ लोग जंतर मंतर पर बजरंग दल कार्यकर्ताओं के आने के भ्रामक दुष्प्रचार में जुटे हैं। जबकि बजरंग दल की ओर से ऐसी कोई योजना नहीं है।
वैसे भी, जन समर्थन के अभाव में यह कथित आंदोलन, पूर्व की भांति, अपनी स्वाभाविक मौत मरने ही वाला है।

The posts were also accompanied by videos showing large crowds, red flags and fireworks. However, the videos did not independently establish that the visuals were from Jantar Mantar or that a large Bajrang Dal, RSS or VHP contingent had arrived in Delhi.

What Did Bajrang Dal Say?
Bajrang Dal on Thursday rejected the claims. In a post on X, the organisation said there was no plan to mobilise its workers at Jantar Mantar.
In its Hindi statement, Bajrang Dal said the claims circulating about its workers arriving at the protest site were part of a 'misleading propaganda' campaign. The organisation also said it has consistently opposed what it described as 'anarchic protests'.
Bajrang Dal further criticised the proposed CJP agitation and said it did not have public support.
Fact Check: Is The 5 Lakh Mobilisation Claim True?
No evidence has emerged to substantiate the claim that Bajrang Dal is planning to bring five lakh Hindu activists to Jantar Mantar on October 10. The organisation itself has categorically denied having any such plan.
The viral videos circulating with the claim also do not establish that the crowds shown are connected to the proposed October 10 mobilisation in Delhi.
Therefore, claims that Bajrang Dal is preparing a five-lakh-strong mobilisation at Jantar Mantar on October 10 should be treated as misleading based on the organisation's clarification and the lack of independent evidence supporting the claim.
What Is Planned At Jantar Mantar On October 10?
The CJP has announced 'Jantar Mantar 2.0', a fresh mobilisation scheduled from October 10. The party has said the protest is aimed at demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar over the SIR of electoral rolls.
The alleged Bajrang Dal mobilisation, however, is a separate claim that the organisation has denied.
