Christians may form militia for self-defence: Church leader

Bhadrapad Shuddha Dwitiya

Orissa: Looking low and dejected, a Church leader from Orissa warned on Sunday that if the government failed to stop attacks on his community, Christians in the state will be forced to raise a militia for self-defence. (If Missionaries will stop forced conversions of Hindus and attacks on Hindu Leaders, no one will attack on them. SO it will be better for churches to stop forced conversions instead of building troops!)

"All that the governments have been doing, both in the state and at the centre, is paint an illusion. Beautiful, but hollow words is all they have to offer. It’s been eight days and the violence continues. If such a situation persists, we will have no option but to form our own ‘Suraksha Vahini’," the priest told IANS on condition of anonymity. (If this condition is applied to Hindus, then Hindus should also build their troops to fight against anti-Hindus like Jihadi Terrorists, Missionaries involved in forced conversions & Communists who are attacking Hindus throughout the country!)

The priest, who is based in Bhubaneshwar and who reached New Delhi on Aug 26, said he did not want to be quoted by name because he had already received death threats and feared for his life. He spoke in the church premises in the heart of the capital.

The Church leader might be in a delegation set to meet President Pratibha Patil on Monday. He said, however, that not many were hopeful.

"We met the prime minister, the home minister and will meet the president on Monday. However, I have my doubts that anything fruitful will come out of it. All that we keep getting are fine words that ‘this will be done and that will be done’. In reality not only Kandhamal but many districts in Orissa are burning," the church member said. (This is the outcome of Forced conversions and attack on Hindus by Christians in Orissa!)

"I have told people from Orissa to say they are not Christians in order to save their lives. You can follow religion as long as you are alive. This sadly is increasingly becoming an intolerant society," he added.

Orissa has been on the boil since the killing of a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader and four others Aug 23 by suspected Maoist guerrillas sparked off a wave of anti-Christian violence that has left 13 dead. Hundreds of people have fled their homes.

Radical Hindu groups in the state alleged that Christians killed Saraswati because he opposed religious conversion. Christian groups deny this. (It is clear like Sunlight that Christians are behind the killing of Swamiji!)

Another senior Church member from Delhi, said that the number of dead in Orissa was much more than what the authorities were admitting.

"The state government says peace is being restored and people are returning to their homes. Which homes are they talking about? The ones that have been burnt down?"
