Bhubaneswar: The Viswa Hindu Parishad on Thursday observed the Sacrifice Day and remembered Swami Laxmananda Saraswati on his first death anniversary. The first death anniversary of the Hindu Seer passed off peacefully across Orissa including at Jalespata Ashram, where the religious leader was gun down and Chakapada in tribal dominated southern districts of Kandhamal, where he was cremated.

VHP, while alleging Church hand in the murder that shocked the entire nation on August 23, 2009 on Janmasthami Day, however held ‘silent protest’ at Raj Bhawan and came down heavily on the Orissa Government for its failure to nab the real killers and conspirators behind the murder case. Sangh workers held a demonstration here at Raj Bhawan and observed Sacrifice Day.

The VHP submitted a memorandum to Governor MC Bhandare seeking strong action against killers and conspirators

“The Naveen Patnaik Government for its vote bank politics, however shielding the culprits and blaming the innocent Hindu tribals for the communal flare up,” they said. The partial treatment of the elected Government to go out of the way to help people of a particular community, violets the basic principals of human rights, the VHP said in a memorandum.

Bajarang Dal national co-convener Subash Chouhan, State spokesman RN Panda, BJP MLA Pratap Sarangi, former MP Archana Nayak, Pramod Das of VHP were among those present.
 
Later a delegation met Governor MC Bhandare and submitted a memorandum. Dr Raghunath Mohapatra, Dr.Ratnakar Chaini, GS Ratha and Dr Nagen Kumar Debata were among those in the delegation.
