<b>Swami Laxmanananda killing well planned by missionaries-RSS</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Bhubaneswar,Oct 22 : RSS joint general secretary Madan Das today alleged that the killing of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati was well planned by Christian missionaries which wanted to eliminate him to carry out conversion.
''Basically it was an act of the missionaries but they wanted to misguide the people by saying that the Maoists were behind the killing,'' Mr.Das told a news conference here.
He said the Swamiji was attacked on many occasions but never had the Maoist claimed responsibility. ''It is against the basic theory of the Maoists to kill a person working for the uplift of the poor tribals of the area,'' he said.
Mr.Das described the situation in Kandhmal as the outcome of a longstanding social unrest due to the 'aggressive' nature of the converted 'panas' who have not only 'grabbed' the land of tribals but also 'snatched away' the rights of 'thekandhs' in their own homeland.
