NEW DELHI: Claiming responsibility for the killing of VHP leader Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati in Orissa, the CPI-M on Sunday warned the saffron oufit of “more such punishments if it continued violence against religious minorities in the country”.
The CPI-M has decided to punish “anti-people, fanatical leaders like Saraswati” in the wake of “endless persecution” of religious minorities, a party release said.
The statement alleged that Saraswati was a “rabid anti-Christian ideologue and persecutor of innocent Christians and was responsible for the burning down of over 400 churches in Khandamal”. (The Times Of India)
