It is an international conspiracy to slam Orissa: The Writer’s Forum

Bhubaneswar, 09/11/08 (VISAKEO): Condemning the Kandhamal violence after the slain of the spiritual leader Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, The Writer’s Forum of the State has stated that Orissa is the chief target by the international force in the matter of religion conversion. As this is the only State that puts question on forcible religion conversion by the Christian missionaries through entices by the help of churches and preaching the false ideas for the sake of their religion promotion to the poor and neglected castes of Hindus. In the state level seminar on “Kandhamal and Agitated Orissa” organized by The Writer’s Forum of Viswa sambad Kendra Orissa many professionals and statesmen have opined that an Orissa has been the victim of an international conspiracy to damage its image and reputation at the door of the Universe in the matter of kandhamal violence.

The Writer’s Forum stated that an existing social caste system is the main reason for the religion conversion. Against the religion conversion the tribal community Kandh have been agitated since 1853. The Christian Missionaries by the direction of the international churches and its policies were engaged in converting the scheduled castes of the Hindu community and motivated them to fight against the tribal groups. And Kandhamal violence is an outcome of that agitation and protest by the two groups: the scheduled castes and the scheduled tribes after the slain of Swamiji. But the media and the government coloured it as the communal violence and arrested lots of innocent Hindus and tortured them by bringing an allegation of Nun’s gang rape. Attending as the chief guest an eminent writer and the an all India organizing secretary of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh briefed the history of the religion conversion by the Christian missionaries, the motto of the Matth and spiritual leaders in the rural belts and the real story of Swamiji’s contribution to the society and his heinous murder in the seminar. He said how Swamiji had dedicated his life living in a remote area in the favour of Hindu community by protesting an action of cow slaughter, taking wine and liquors, and uniting the divided Hindu community, the women power by preaching and teaching holy books and eternal ideas to the poor and illiterate people in the tribal area, and as a result he was gunned down by the Christian people who had stood up on their way to religion conversion. He said, the real tribute and homage should be when his ideas will be accepted and his purpose will be disseminated throughout the Indians. Condemning the terrorism he said that the most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden and the Pope are the two sides of a coin whose principles are same and mottos are clear that to spread their irrational ideas by hook or crook. An eminent writer cum lecturer Niranjan Padhi in his opinion said that the government and the world are beholding the Kandhamal violence in a different angle not considering as a national crisis. Writer Dr. Umesh Patri participating in the seminar said that the slain of Swamiji is a national shame if his personality be analysed properly. Not arrsesting the real culprtits of his slain, the government and its administration is providing them to kill another saint and leader who are working for the motherland and society. The vice chairperson of Utkal Sammilani Subash chandra Das, Scientist Sarat Chandra Panda, Poet Harekrishna Dhupapala Sharma, Usharani Mohanty, Lalit Mohan Pattnaik, Bijoy Kumar Singh, Bipin Bihari Tripathy, Writer Abhay Singh, and Trilochan Panda had made the Christian missionaries and the churches responsible for the national disintegration in the name of their services. They appealed to the citizens of India to stand against their “dividing and rule” principles and to see the fact. In this seminar the state coordinator of Rastriya Swabhiman Andolon Orissa Saumendra Jena had addressed the seminar and the joint secretary of Viswa Sambad Kendra Orissa Srimant Samantray had offered word of thanks.
