'K'mal incidents to inspire VHP to work for ending conversions'

Bhubaneswar11/9(visakeo)VHP leader Ashok Singhal on Thursday met Jagadguru Sankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati at his Gobardhan Mutt. Both the champions of Hindu cause had a close-door meeting for an hour over the killing of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati who was actively preventing conversion and cow slaughter in the tribal areas of the State particularly in Kandhamal district. They expressed grave concern over the failure of the police to nab the killers even after weeks.                                                                                                              
Singhal after the meeting with the Sankaracharya announced that no conversion would be allowed. The killing of Swami Laxamanananda would inspire VHP activists to work more vigorously to end the conversion in the manner Christianity spread world wide after crusification of Jesus, asserted the VHP leader.
Briefing mediapersons on the proceedings of meeting, VHP State leader Subash Chouhan said it was resolved to carry out a month long campaign in Kandhmal. Holy earth from the Samadhi of the slain Swami would be taken in procession to every village of the area and the villagers would be administered oath not to allow any foreign missionary worker or priest into their villages and conversion of their fellow villagers.

The campaign would begin from September 23 till October 23, Chouhan informed. Earlier on the day Ashok Singhal went to Sri Jagannath temple and offered prayers to lord Jagannath. He was accompanied by State functionaries of the VHP. The administration had made elaborate police bandobost for his visit
