A Hindu fringe group
celebrated the 70th birthday of Donald Trump in the Indian capital on Tuesday,
calling the U.S. presidential contender the "savior of humanity" who
could end the global threat posed by Islamist militants.
About 20 members of the
far-right Hindu Sena, or Hindu Army, held the festivities as Americans grieved
over the deaths of 49 people in the country's worst-ever mass shooting,
perpetrated by a gunman claiming allegiance to Islamic State.
"Trump has said Muslims
should be banned from entering America. Everyone should support that,"
said Hindu Sena leader Vishnu Gupta, whose group is known more for its
publicity stunts than for having any meaningful support.
Donning red and blue paper
hats, activists gathered at a stall on a Delhi road to pledge their allegiance
to the presumptive Republican nominee, saying they counted on Trump to contain
India's neighbor Pakistan.
