Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 When a Christian Missionary and his son were killed in India, the world/ western press had front page head lines condeming India and Hindu organisations, even though there was no evidence to implicate Hindu Organisations- as the Wadhwa Commission estabilished. Now the Baptist Church instigated terrorists first kidnaped and now have killed 4 RSS men, but there is not a word of condemnation in the world/ western press. What bias! Here is the Times of India report on this: Abducted RSS men killed in Tripura, THE TIMES OF INDIA NEWS SERVICE, 29 July 01 NEW DELHI: The RSS has squarely blamed the Baptist Church and the National Liberation Front of Tripura for the murder of its four senior functionaries in the state. These four pracharaks (whole- timers) who have been missing since August 6, 1999, included a 70- year-old national level leader. RSS sarkaryavah (general secretary) Mohan Bhagwat in a statement said the Tripura and Union governments on Saturday confirmed the RSS functionaries' death. It remains to be seen how the RSS would react to the latest development. ``The conspiracy of the Christian missionaries behind the anti-national activities of this (NLFT) organisation is no longer a secret," wrote Bhagwat. The general secretary has called on volunteers all over the country to pay homage to the deceased functionaries in their respective shakhas on August 6. This is one of the rare incidents where RSS workers have been abducted and killed. At the height of terrorism in Punjab, a large number of RSS volunteers where killed during a morning shakha. While announcing the pracharaks' death, Bhagwat has made a scathing attack on the Union and the state governments. ``From the day of their abduction, the RSS has been trying hard to get them released. But its desperation was reciprocated by the Union and state governments' insensitivity." Those abducted and later declared killed were: Kshetra Karyavah (zonal general secretary) of West Bengal, Assam and the North-East Shyamal Kanti Sengupta, pracharak working in southern Assam Dinendranath Dey, Agartala vibhag pracharak (area-in-charge) Sudhamay Dutta, and district pracharak Subhankar Chakravarty. They were all abdcuted from a Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram-run students' hostel in Tripura's Kanchanchhada area. Till November 2000, the RSS had been in touch with the kidnapped functionaries through middlemen, but their contacts broke off soon after and hence it was believed since that these four had been murdered. In fact, last August the RSS had demonstrated against the Union home ministry and staged a protest march at the Tripura House in Delhi, seeking the government's intervention to get the abducted functionaries released.
