Orissa arrests 2 Christians for Hindu leader's murder

BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - Police arrested two Christians in
Orissa on Monday in connection with the murder of a Hindu leader that
sparked weeks of deadly clashes, a killing which is also blamed on
Maoist rebels.

The arrests were the first in the killing of Laxmanananda Saraswati in
August, a Hindu proselytiser linked with India's main
Hindu-nationalist opposition party.

The murder unleashed a wave of retaliatory attacks by Hindus on
Christians in the rural Kandhamal district of Orissa -- leaving at
least 35 people dead -- that has been a zone of Christian missionary
activities for decades.

"We have arrested two people," Arun Kumar Ray, inspector general of
police, told Reuters, adding that those held were Christians.

A police officer said the two had links with the Maoist rebels. Ray
said a third person had been also detained.

The violence against Christians in Orissa was followed by similar
attacks in Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. Hindu nationalists either
share power or rule outright in all the three states.

Despite posting thousands of policemen, violence has continued,
especially in Kandhamal where thousands of Christians now live in
government camps because their homes are destroyed or they are too
fearful to return.

Police have arrested about 1000 people, mostly Hindus, in connection
with the attacks in Orissa. Hindu groups deny their involvement in the
violence, which have been condemned by Pope Benedict. Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh has called it a "national shame".

Church, cops deny Hindu orphan was raped
The Times of India, 6 Oct 2008, 0246 hrs IST, Sandeep Mishra, TNN

“BARGARH: A day after a Christian priest alleged that Rajani Majhi, a Hindu orphan,

was raped and burned alive by a mob of Hindu fanatics on s
uspicion of being a
Christian, the official spokesperson of the diocese of Sambalpur said the church had no knowledge that the 21-year-old woman had been sexually assaulted before her killing during the sectarian violence at Padampur in Bargarh district on August 25.

"No such information has come to us," said Alphonce Toppo, PRO of Sambalpur diocese. "If Father T V Peter (procurator, Sambalpur diocese) told some people that Rajani was gangraped, then it's his view. We haven't come across any such complaint," he said, all but rebutting Peter's charge that the woman was sexually assaulted. Police officers, who had earlier dismissed the gangrape allegations and said the post-mortem report had not mentioned sexual assault, on Sunday said they would investigate the charge.” ....

How dare christist Reuters describe late Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati as a "HINDU PROSELYTISER". He was no
proselytiser. He was a monk, a religious person and a social worker endeavouring for Hindu education and awakening, so that the impoverished Hindu masses stopped getting proselytised under duress by CHRISTIST MISSIONARY HYENAS . This biased reporting is no coincidence. Reuters is currently headed by a Kerala Christist, Mathew Mammen, formerly of the "Malyala Manorama".

The anti Vedic anti Hindu media is wantonly suppressing a lot of facts regarding the premeditated brutal murders of our revered Swamiji and other Sanyasinis & Devotees there.

How a woman Sanyasini has been abused is not being stated.Only a lot of hyped stories about vestal virginal nuns.....

Certain eunuchy hindus are desperately caving in holding 'dialogues' with catholic goons in the guise of bishops etc.

Christianity is as much inimical as islam to our Vedic Dharmam.Period.

Presuming they are all purer than the purest, let them be excommunicated to vatican. They can live in closest proximity to their pope and puffs of white smoke.

Hindus should NOT compromise at all.As certain christians are coming out with veiled threats like demonazmis.

No Hindu has demolished any church and built a Temple abroad.
