Hindu Sena trumps everyone, is first to pay obeisance to Republican nominee

Donald Trump may never have heard of the Hindu Sena, but that didn’t stop the right-wing organisation from holding a havan for the victory of the presumptive Republican nominee in upcoming US presidential elections. Members of the Sena believe that Trump is the man who will “save humanity from Islam and Islamic terror.”

To pledge their “support” for the billionaire businessman, over a dozen Hindu Sena members gathered at Jantar Mantar with a pandit in tow and posters of Trump, either beaming or waving, in their hands.

The havan began at 12.30 pm and continued for an hour, during which Hindu Sena members urged god to shower his blessings on Trump.

Trump has dominated the Republican primary race to decide the party's candidate for the November election. His call to deny entry to foreign Muslims until America’s security is a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
