Mangalore, Oct 6: Contingents of the Indian army should be sent to Kandhamal district in Orissa where attacks on Christians still continue, said Dr John Dayal, secretary general, All India Christian Council, on Sunday October 5.
This must be followed by a total change in the police and the civil administration, which have proved incompetent, partisan, bigoted, and tainted at the highest level, he said.
Speaking to media persons on Sunday, Dr Dayal said that the home ministers of Karnataka and Orissa should be sacked alongwith senior police and civil officers for their complicity and sympathy with the assailant fascist forces.
Organizations and individuals carrying out or inciting communal violence should be proscribed immediately and the CBI should be ordered to carry out investigations into the circumstances leading to the murder of VHP leader Swami Lakshmananand Saraswathi and the organized violence that followed, he demanded.
Compensations to families of those killed and injured in the communal violence, should be given at the earliest. Besides, security should be ensured for all to create a fearless society, he urged.
