Naveen Dalal, one of the two men accused of attacking activist and former JNU students union leader Umar Khalid last year will be contesting as a Shiv Sena candidate in the upcoming Haryana Polls.
A self proclaimed gau rakshak, Dalal said that he decided to join Sena because their ideologies on nationalism and cow protection matched.
Confirming that Dalal is the party’s candidate, Vikram Yadav, Shiv Sena’s Haryana (south) chief, said: “He has been fighting for issues like cow protection and speaking up against those who raise anti-national slogans. Hence, we have chosen him.”
