11th Oct, A Christian group has objected to a letter written by 21 lawmakers from the US to Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Pattnaik urging him to “protect Christians” in the aftermath of the Kandhamal violence. “We don’t agree with the letter. There is no point in writing such a letter to when the rehabilitation is over,” said Swarupananda Patra, president of the Orissa Minority Forum. He also did not agree on attaching a religions tag to the violence that followed the killing of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati and four of his aides at his ashram Aug 23, 2008. The US lawmakers Friday wrote the letter that “attacks on the fundamental freedom of religion threaten not only India’s reputation for religious diversity, but also the very stability of India’s secular democracy.” It proves that the christians are now playing a blame & praise game to create pressure on the state Govt to favour them
