The Organiser8217;s report has found a Christian angle to Rahul Gandhi8217;s discreet visit to some Orissa villages. It says, 8220;He kept the administration and the security forces on their toes as he went away to some unknown place late night, without informing even the police. During his visit to Berhampur, he went away to a village named Kankia, about 30 km from Gopalpur township. He was accompanied by the chief of a missionary-run NGO and two bodyguards. He went to the office of that NGO at about 10 pm and spent a few hours there. Then he visited a residential school run by that missionary and distributed chocolates. He ate dinner at the school and rested in the village. A reliable source said that Rahul Gandhi spent more time with the NGO8217;s functionaries than with his own party workers. The NGO is well known as a Christian institution and is allegedly involved in proselytisation and evangelical activities in the southern part of the state. He returned to his camp in the morning where all his party leaders were searching for him8230; He did a similar disappearing act during his visit to Koraput district, where he was warmly welcomed by a reputed evangelical institution. Rahul visited it late at night, accompanied only by four bodyguards. In both cases, the police and the administration were kept in the dark. Rahul allegedly did not permit the police force 8212; no police pilot, not even the superintendent of police of Koraput 8212; to follow him, knowing fully well that it was a Naxal-prone area. When contacted about the Berhampur incident, the SP of Ganjam district admitted the unscheduled visit to an unknown place but declined to disclose more.8221;

Super flop

The BJP has been protective about super cop K.P.S. Gill who is heading the Indian Hockey Federation and is instead critical of sports minister Mani Shankar Aiyar8217;s record. But the Organiser thinks differently. An article written by Sri Krishna says, 8220;He may have been a supercop who tackled terrorism in Punjab successfully, but one success which would never be forgotten is his systematic decimation of the country8217;s national sport 8212; hockey8230; His masterful handling of the Indian Hockey Federation IHF ensured that the sport was put to the sword in the same manner as terrorists in Punjab. The game touched its nadir on March 9, as for the first time in 80 years, India will be missing from the Olympics when they are being held in next door China, later this year. It is indeed sad that in a game which for long had been a definite Olympic medal prospect, the Indian team would be missing8230; As though, getting knocked out is not enough, the supercop Gill goes on to say, 8216;we don8217;t have an instant coffee machine that you can get results instantly. It takes time to regain your position. We have put the process in place, the results will take some time.8221;8217;

Terror in Kannur

The RSS mouthpiece devotes a lot of space to violence in Kerala8217;s Kannur district, between the Sangh and the CPM. The reports accompanied by gory pictures of mutilated dead bodies are reinforced with a hard-hitting editorial titled Red Barbarians. It says, 8220;In the words of Justice V. Ramkumar of the Kerala High Court, 8216;It is a shame that even if it is for survival, the police are pandering to the vicious instincts of influential politicians by not punishing those who are actually guilty. Leaders go unscathed. Party offices have become arsenals. Anyone who dies a natural death in Kannur is considered fortunate these days. Hired killers and gangsters enjoying protection from the politicians in power are vitiating the public life and roam around freely because of the protection they get from party leaders. The cult of violence has become the political ideology.8217; He said this while hearing a petition from the widow of a victim of political violence for transferring a murder investigation to the CBI, as she alleged that the Kerala Police was trying to cover up the case since the accused were from the CPM8230; In Kannur alone, seven human lives were lost in 72 hours, half a dozen RSS-BJP workers were maimed for their only crime that they preferred the saffron colour to the red. For long, the CPM terror gangs have made it their mission to murder, to finish off political opposition in their strongholds. Every party in the state, including its allies like CPI and NDF, has fallen victim to the Marxist brutes.8221;
