Hyderabad: The Telangana unit of Bajrang Dal on Sunday distributed Trishuls (tridents) to 400 Hindu men and administered an oath asking them to vow to protect their faith and their nation in Nizamabad.
The oath was administered as a part of the men’s initiation into the Dal.
In a video which has now gone viral, the saffron clad men can be seen holding the tridents in their right hand as they swear to abide by the oath.
