'Most of Maoist cadre are Christians'

Advani, Singhal, Togadia are 'natural targets', not Naveen, says
Orissa Naxal chief

A section of Maoists has claimed responsibility for the murder of
VHP's 86-year-old monk Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati. Claiming
responsibility, a prominent Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda, who is in
the "most wanted" list, said the Maoist groups in Orissa derive major
support from minority communities. "There was pressure from both
Christians and Dalits to eliminate VHP leader Laxmanananda Saraswati,"
he reportedly told to a group of journalists, who met him at an
undisclosed location. Panda is the secretary of the State organising
committee of CPI (Maoist).


"We killed him as he did not pay any heed to Maoists' warning," he
said, adding that the Maoist group had asked Swami to desist from
anti-Christian activities. The original inhabitants of Kandhamal
district are Kandhas and Panas. While Kandhas are mostly tribals, most
of the Panas have converted to Christianity.

Noting that most of the cadre members and supporters in Orissa
belonged to Christian community, Panda said, "It is a fact that
Christians are in majority in our organisation. Our supporters in
Rayagada, Gajapati and Kandhamal districts also belong to Christian
community."

Panda further alleged that Laxmanananda was responsible for riot in
December 25, 2007 and subsequently targeted people indulging in cow
slaughter and people of both the communities were opposed to the seer.

The Maoist leader, however, pointed out that though Christians were
major support base of the outfit in Orissa, the situation was not
similar across the country. However, he was quick to add that Maoists
never believe in any religion. "We do not believe in any religion or
are attached to any religious groups. We are not in favour of any
religion," he said claiming Laxmanananda was working to revive
Brahminism, which was almost disappearing. However, he categorically
denied that Naveen was their target.

"It is a fact that we are angry with Patnaik for running the
Government in Orissa at the instructions of the BJP leaders. But he is
not on our radar."

Branding Sangh Parivar as a 'fundamentalist' group, Panda has said
senior BJP leader LK Advani, VHP's Ashok Singal and Pravin Togadia are
"natural targets" of the Left-wing extremists as they are instigating
communal passion. "Maoists were in search of an opportunity to
eliminate the three leaders "as they are instigating communal passion
in the country".

He further said as they could not kill the leaders as they come to
meet people with CRPF jawans, "we will kill the trio whenever a chance
is available," Panda said.

He also admitted that Maoists had for the first time intervened in any
religious dispute by killing Laxmanananda Saraswati. "We want to
create a casteless society devoid of exploitation where the people
would not face discrimination of any kind," he said.

Reacting on this issue, BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu said he should come
forward and make an open statement. "We cannot believe in a person who
is hiding," he said.
