Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha letter to Orissa CM

Dear Chief Minister,

The killing of the venerated Swami Lakshmanananda  has grieved Hindus all over the country. The tribals in Orissa to whom he gave succor for decades, are devastated and angry. The consequential reprisal against innocent Christian families is also unfortunate. Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha, the Apex body of Hindus all over the country, comprising all the Sankaracharyas and Heads of all ancient mathas and peethas in the country, numbering more than 125 highly revered Hindu religious leaders, is deeply concerned. Violence between communities is continuing. On the one hand, Missionaries and Christian Organizations have unleashed an one-sided propaganda war against aggrieved Hindus and are pressurizing authorities against the tribals who are yet to get over their great loss; on the other hand the murderers of the swamiji and his associates, have not yet been nabbed. The Acharya Sabha notes with distress that not only Hindus in Kandhamal region where the heinous murders took place but the vast Hindu populace in Orissa believes that the murder of the swamiji and his associates  including a woman, was the handiwork of some powerful local vested interests. There is also a strong belief that the criminals have been identified by the people locally but they are roaming freely because the law and order machinery is not keen to offend the powerful Christian minority leadership, by arresting the murderers.
