Church behind Kandhamal violence : Sarsanghachalak

ANGUL: RSS Sarsanghachalak K.S.Sudarshanji on Thursday blamed the church for the recent Kandhamal communal flare-up. He was addressing Swayamsevaks here after inspecting various martial arts performed by them.

Calling upon the people to awaken and unite to counter the challenge of multiple threats to the country, he said ‘don’t wait for others to act for you’. He said threats like Maoist violence, Islamic jihad and conversations by Christian missionaries are looming large over India.

Sarsanghachalak regretted that while any insult to other religions sparked off protests worldwide, the same is not happening in case of attack and insult on Hinduism. He said one of the achievements of the Sangh since it was formed in 1925 was that it helped Hindus to say themselves as Hindus without any fear.

‘‘Maoists know only to destroy,’’ he said questioning what development activities they did in their liberated areas in the country. USSR, which embraced Communism, collapsed and also China, where Maoism prospered, is also meeting the same fate, he observed.

Opposing the plan to destruct Ram Setu, he said expert committee formed on the Sethu Samundram project opined against demolition of the setu as it would be catastrophic to coastal areas in the wake of Tsunami.

The Sethu Samundram project would not benefit the national economy rather it would create a burden of Rs 1000 crore per annum to clear the debris. The demolition of setu, he said, was not in the interest of India but it would further the interest of America, he claimed.
