VHP attacks churches in Orissa towns, curfew imposed

[mudsir]

It's been a dark Christmas in parts of Orissa, from where there are reports of churches being vandalised by VHP activists.One person has been killed and at least 24 have been injured in the violence. The violence occurred during a VHP-sponsored bandh in Kandhamala district.
Curfew has been clamped in Phulbani, Baliguda, Daringibadi and Brahmanigaon towns of the district.
Reports say at least six churches as well as a minister's house were attacked by protestors. The churches — which were built in thatched houses — were either ransacked or set on fire. Two police outposts and a police vehicle were also set on fire.
Police say they have arrested 13 persons. The VHP was protesting an alleged attack on one of its leaders who leads an anti-conversion movement in the district.
The violence, which began at Brahmanigaon village under Daringbadi area on Monday, gradually spread to other parts of the district with miscreants attacking two houses of the state's Steel and Mines minister Padmanabha Behera at Phiringia and Nuapadar villages.
Expressing concern over violence in Kandhamala district on Christmas, Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday asked people to maintain peace and communal harmony.
"Everyone should come forward to maintain the rich tradition of the state's communal harmony," he said in a statement.
He also appealed to the people to extend their cooperation to the district administration of Kandhamala.

"The VHP was protesting an alleged attack on one of its leaders who leads an anti-conversion movement in the district."

[mediator]

Its certainly bad that people die in such communal violences. But yea the poison tree spread its roots to this fine land and sprouted the branch of its "peace". As a result many forefathers were converted. Check ur family tree!

Njoy the music and entertainment u live as for the "peaceful' religion forbids it! So yea u can say hinduism is far more tolerant!! Nuff said......can the 'im'poster please link the source now?

Fresh communal trouble in Orissa despite curfew

BHUBANESWAR: Despite indefinite curfew, fresh communal violence was reported on Wednesday morning from Orissa's riot-hit Kandhamal district with clashes in various places and a church and a former MP's house being attacked.

According to police, hundreds of tribals attacked a church at Sarsalanda village under Sadar police station, about 20 km from Phulbani town. A mob also vented its ire on the home of former MP Sribatsa Digal in Line Pada at Phulbani town, an official of the district intelligence bureau said.

Besides, there were reports of communal clashes from half a dozen places but the details were awaited due to "disruption of communication", the official said.

All these incidents occurred late on Tuesday night despite curfew being imposed in the troubled areas of Baliguda, Daringbadi and Brahmani Gaon as well as at the district headquarters of Phulbani.

Curfew was clamped on Christmas night after one person was allegedly killed and over a dozen injured in clashes between Hindus and Christians in the wake of a shutdown called by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to protest an attack on a Hindu leader.

The four-hour shutdown was to protest Monday's attack on the vehicle of local Hindu leader Swami Laxamananda Saraswati near Daringbadi when he was on his way to perform a yagna there.

Saraswati and a person accompanying him were injured and their vehicle partially damaged, district police chief Narasimha Bhol, who is camping in the area, said.

Although more than 1,000 policemen were deployed in sensitive places on Tuesday, people could not reach many of the troubled spots as VHP supporters blocked roads with logs.

"The roads are still blocked and the police are trying to reach the village. The state government has sent para-military forces and extra police force to the region to control the situation. They are on their way," Bhol said.

The trouble had started on Monday morning in the Christian-majority Brahmanigaon village, 150 km from the district headquarters of Phulbani, over Christmas celebrations.

While the Christian community wanted to celebrate the day in a grand way, the local Hindus opposed the plan, Bhol said.

This led to clashes between the Hindu and Christian groups. The attack on Saraswati led to escalation in the violence.

Besides the VHP, the local Kui tribal community had also given a shutdown call demanding immediate solution to their problems. The clashes took place mostly when VHP supporters attacked shops in various places.

At least a dozen churches and a dozen of vehicles including two police vehicles were set on fire. Besides, the protestors attacked house of the elder brother of the state steel and mines minister Padmanav Behera and torched one of his vehicles on Tuesday, police sources said.

The government has deputed the district superintendents of the neighbouring three districts - Gajapati, Boudh and Ganjam - to the spot, a senior police official in Bhubaneswar said.

The trouble areas are a part of the undivided Phulbani district, considered one of the most communally sensitive regions in the state with numerous clashes reported between Hindus and Christians in the past.

let them celebrate in a grand way or whatever way they like but there is no justification for this kind of protest where an innocent person is murdered ,churches are destroyed ,christians are terrorised.

yes if you get the person or group who attacked the hindu leader ,punish him ,,but why do the hindus always want to extend the violence on also those christians who had nothing to do with the attack.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

those <insert_insult_here>s are pissing me off. What the <insert_swear_here> do the hope to gain by terrorising innocent guys? Damn religious <insert_insult_here>s. I am proud that I am atheist, only because us guys don't fight over what some other guy beleives. What's the point of fighting over which <insert_insult_here> belief is <insert_insult_here> wrong when it won't <insert_swear_here> change anything? <insert_swear_here> religion. Some damn guy gets attacked, and his followers attack other damn guys who have no connection with anything. damn them.

 

[x3060]

this is getting to another fight club......

mods move this to fight club so that we can spill some blood...

this time , i want to test my "PORTAL GUN"...

so, guys , by the way, what is the fight all about, which side do i need to pick???

P.S: its a good forum here, dont put religion in to it and make it STINK.
have a good night , you guys can fight about comps , but religion is some thing diff, very nasty thing. please stop.

 

[nix]

this is all made up by the congress...they want to spoil VHPs name. so they send in some goons and then put the blame on congress.... quite typical of their policy...

 

[apoorva84]

first of all, modi is not a terrorist...he is my hero...also, nobody talks about the triggering incident in all these cases...

godhra happened because some islamic idiots burned a train going to ayodhya...naturally the hindus were upset and they retaliated...

similar case here....

jai hind...vande mataram....

 

[mudsir]

its the hindu terrorists who believe in blind retaliation.

those who burnt the train must be punished not the innocent muslims who had nothing to do with that unislamic deed.

likewise in this case punish those who attacked the leader not the innocent christians who had nothing to do with the attack.

also hindu terrorists were wrong in killing thousands of sikhs in 1984 and then telling that the killing as retaliation was justified.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Solution

1.eradicate all the caste entry in forms right from prekg

2.stop making religous holiday's as national holiday or state holiday,instead give 50 days holiday excluding sunday for a year to all workers.

3.50% of the donation to any religous charity should be acquired by government and spent on poor people.

4.conduct raid on all charity,trust etc and audit them. .

5.give 3-5 years ,follow this...illiterater will forget their caste and religion and literates will elect good politician who cant win with their religous or caste background...


Until then expect more like this.

Religion and caste are the blockade for india to emerge as supreme power

U r better off terrorizing goats and killing them in the name of god instead of mocking the person who taught u the definition of religious terrorist/terrorism!
