Arrest conspirators and culprits, says fact-finding team
“Violence abetted by the trading community”
BHUBANESWAR: The Kandhamal district administration on Friday prevented four senior Sangh Parivar leaders from going round the riot-hit district that is slowly limping back to normality.
Joint secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Shyamji Gupta; general secretary of the Orissa unit Gauri Prasad Rath; Bajrang Dal national co-convener Subhas Chauhan; and Eastern Zone Coordinator of VHP Basant Rath were stopped by the police at Phulbani, district headquarters of Kandhamal for violating the prohibitory orders. They were then escorted up to the district’s border along with their supporters.

**********************

It is a very unfortunate move by the State Government to ban the visit of Shyamji Gupta to Kandhamal. When the governments of Italy, France and the Pope can comment on a law and order situations that is internal to the Republic of India, why is it that a Indian national cannot visit the spot? Marxists and Naxals who openly proclaim war against the state of India and its citizens, can have an arranged tour of the area, but not Shyamji Gupta who has helped in setting up numerous tribal welfare units along with the late Sri Lakshmananda ? The state is proclaiming the guilty verdict against the wrong persons. The investigation by the police has led to the conclusion that Maoists hitmen were hired to kill the swamiji. Please see link below for details on police findings - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Maoists_hired_to_kill_VHP_leader_claim_Orissa_police/articleshow/3607105.cms

Very clearly the report says that a "particular community" had hired Maoists to train and kill the 80 year old swami. Who else will do it? the conclusions are obvious for all to see. Inspite of this the state government continues to punish and blame the wrong people. Our highly communal media will continue to publish allegations against hindus that are completely baseless but will not publish factual reports of the violence(my thanks to TOI for publishing this police report.... respect!!!), the great charade that is the human rights organisations will browbeat the government into acting against the victims, traitor and hindu hater John Dayal with his goons will internationalise a domestic issue and a guilty verdict will be passed on the victims. This is the farce that passes for a fair and just system in India.

All Indian patriots, please be aware of this and do not be misled by opinions that are being passed around as fact. Please do not blame the brave followers of Lakshmananda here for they are as much victims here as the late swami himself.
