Reports of NCM was one-sided, Bajrang Dal — demands action against a missionary orphanage

Bhubaneswar:(Visakeo)- Bajrang Dal, a frontal outfit of RSS on Sunday turned the reports of the fact-finding team of the National Commission for Minority as one-sided and an attempt appease only the Christian community. Speaking at a news conference here, Bajrang Dal national co-convener Subash Chouhan said that NCM did not visit Brahamnigaon village, which is Hindu majority village and affected severely. Such type of attitude of the Commission has clearly exposed its intention, Chouhan added. Orissa is receiving a sum of Rs 129 crorers every year for religious conversion but the State Government did not take any step to check the flow of foreign funds, he said.Alleging that the recent riots in Kandhamal district were caused by conversion and conspiracy by foreign funded NGOs, he demanded strict enforcement of anti-conversion law in Orissa. "We are not fully satisfied with the manner in which the anti-conversion law has been implemented in Orissa. The Freedom of Religion Act must be enforced strictly and action taken against its violators," Chouhan said.

Meanwhile, Bajrang Dal demanded action against a missionary orphanage in Bargarh.

He demanded arrest of those involved in the alleged sexual exploitation of girl inmates of a missionary-run orphanage at Talpadartikra village in Bargarh. As per reports, two girls fled the school after they allegedly witnessed some girl hostel inmates and teachers in compromising positions. Shocked they left the hostel with one of the girl being picked up by her maternal uncle while the other identified as Rukmani Hembram was rescued by the villagers. The girl has reportedly revealed that two of her friends have been sexually exploited by the teachers. The incident triggered tension in the area as Bajrang Dal activities had tried to break into the orphanage only to be prevented by the armed police. Later they blocked the NH demanding action against the orphanage.
