`Sangh parivar activists involved in Kandhamal riot`

Bhubaneswar: Members of the Sangh parivar were involved in the communal violence in Kandhamal which claimed at least 38 lives besides causing damage to 4640 houses, Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said on Monday.

"It is learnt from investigation into the riot cases that the members of RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal were involved in the violence that took place last year," Patnaik told the Assembly while replying to a question by a CPI member.

Sangh Parivar activists were arrested in this connection. Of them 85 were of the RSS and 321 members of VHP were rounded up on charge of riot. The number of Bajrang Dal workers arrested on charge of violence was 118, he said.

At least 27 persons allegedly involved in the riots were still in jails, the Chief Minister said.

He said house damage and house burning incidents were reported from at least 13 police station areas in Kandhamal.

To another question, Patnaik said the commission of inquiry probing the violence in Kandhamal after the killing of VHP leader Laxamananda Saraswati had so far received affidavits of 383 persons and examined at least 34 government officials.

Bajrang dal, shiv and half dozen other evil senas, rss and BJP their character certificate is made public both in Gujarat, Kandamal and in Ayodya. What is sad is that every Indians head hangs shame for the bad character demonstrated in all the incidents which shows these party which want to shed blood to rule. It is neither Physics nor sociology it is pure murderers wanting to rule by murdering innocent people. But the sad thing is that allways the poor who die. It was not the Thakerey or Advani or naveen patnayak or Atal or Murlai or Katihar or togadia it is the poor people who suffered in all the evil design of the wicked leader sho only teach to hate burn and divide India for cheap politics

Why this impotent cm is silence the leading role of chruch about conversion. why he renain silence about the attack of 8 times before our respected Swamiji killed Chrstian goons on the behest of Chruch. Who was an obstacle for conversion. Now the situation so worse, no body is interested to invest in Orissa. What about mining scam and Puri Land for vendanta. This land has given to Chruch of England. bande mataram

It is a known fact that most of the terrorist groups in India and around the world are MUSLIMS. Strange that in India in the name of SECULARISM what the Congress and other Psuedo-secularist parties do is only to bash Hindu. What sort of secularism is this?? A Hindu leader is killed but nothing is done. But in the retaliatory action the Hindus are blamed. It is not the ones who are pinching the ASS are guilty but who is crying is guilty!!!

So what if Sangh parivar activists involved in Kandhamal riots. It was only a retaliation against the killing of Swami Laxmananada Saraswati. The law of physics tells that `there is an equal and opposite reaction to ever action``. But in the sociology the reaction depends upon people`s sentiment. On the day of Janmastami Hindu preacher is being killed by unknown elements but the same unknown elements ate not stopping the unethical conversion to Christianity. I think there should not be any Hindu who would not be angry with this incident. Missionaries are involved in conversion in the name of social service. Swamiji was their obstacle. So he was eliminated through a wide conspiracy, which the government did not consider to investigate.

Our great India. Where are you Mr. Ram Jethmalani, Adwani Jee? Your former decade old power shared partner and a chief minister can not be wrong. So rude comments on internationation forum about Muslims terror, now will you explain about these sour truths? Lying and denying, committing crimes and giving nationalism a covering name of his act is the most utilize ornament of maximum number of political and organizational leaders who they are more dangerous to nation than Kasab.
