Shambhuji, At 1700 IST on 5th October the Head of Naxalite Movement in Orissa's interview with NDTV 24 x7 was telecast. He clearly stated that his organisation has committed the murder. He also gave the reasons for this action for at least 6 minutes. He further stated that the Naxals after the murder had left behind two notes at the spot. These have been suppressed by the local police at the behest of Hindu fundamentalists (presumably). Please do not make sweeping statements. It is not going to help the cause of revitalising the Hindu religion. Such statements will only bring us to ridicule.
In the process I am not condoning the action of Naxals. The statement will obviously be challenged by the Bajrang Dal and its supporters. The truth may or may not come out but the fact remains that a crime has been committed. Since there is rule of law, a section of the Hindu citizens have no right to gang rape the nun at the point of the trisul. Religious fanaticism can never bring renaissance in any religious order as we can see what is happening in Pakistan. Since the present day Government at the Centre does not have sufficient majority on its own, it has not been able to impose Presidentâs Rule. As the State Government is a coalition with the BJP, the State apparatus is unable to crack down on the Hindu fanatics.
