Bajrang dal is patriotic not fundamentalist: Hindu Jagaran Samukhya

Bhubaneswar, 15/10/08 (VISAKEO): Reacting to the statement by the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Union Minister Sri Ramvilas Paswan on the Bajrang Dal, The Hindu Jagaran Samukhya State general secretary Basudev Barik has suspected the role these politicians in a secular state. They should know the real Hinduism and its principles. How can the Bajrang Dal be a fundamentalist? It is a patriotic organization. It is always concerned for the security of the Hindu religion that is always under the threat of other extremists and separatists as well alien religious preachers. The principle of Hinduism is meant for all acceptances and the nation like India is the burning example of this category when it was formed after independence and partition. Not a single country has sheltered such huge population comprises varieties of sects and religions. And it is the Hindu who have accepted everything, embraced the minorities. And today, the government and opposition arises the question of the authenticity of hindu people? If as per the government the Christian people are attacked, it means they must have violated some norms of the moral laws. But, the government's observation is totally false that is based on an improper and biased investigation. It is the international pressure that moulds our administration to be blind and condemning the Hindu religion for the communal violence.


In an exclusive talk with the NDTV's executive editor Burkha Dutt on NDTV, Patnaik said many of those arrested in the communal violence in the state were from the Bajrang Dal. But he refused to comment directly on a possible ban, saying he will only react when the Centre takes a final decision.

He explained that none of the letters sent by the Home Ministry mention Article 355. "President's rule in Orissa would be political misuse," he said. Orissia Chief Minister's coming to New Delhi after the violence between Hindu and Christian in Orissa is likely to fuel the debate over banning the Sangh Parivar outfit. Advisor M K Naraynan pointed out, "SIMI and Bajrang Dal are not two sides of the same coin, but both of them are dangerous." He added that "You can ban the Hindu cadre organiastion (Bajrang Dal) but you will then not be able to sustain it." Opining on the communal violence, Sri Paswan strongly recommend banning the VHP, Bajrang Dal and RSS.

Viewing against them, the Organisation's state general secretary has advised to follow them the concept of Kalapahad story. Why the Hindu cadre organization will be banned if raised its voice against the injustice? Whereas, it is not a fundamentalist, but a patriotic who always serves for he nation and its dignity. It is the misconception of the politicians who have forgotten the concept of Hinduism, the Oriya culture and traditions
