Miguel Braganza: the "concerned" Bishop in Orissa even swore a affidavit wrongly stating that VHP leader Dr. Pravin Togadia had threatened an "Asti Kalash" procession when the most Indians know that swamis are buried. Response: Miguel appears to have been carried away with his eloquence. Though it is true that the Swami was buried, Praveen Togadia has gone on record threatening to take out an "Asti Kalash Yatra" spanning 200 kms. refer to the following report. Extract: Togadia said the *yatra *will go on. "*The body of Swamiji was not cremated. His was a samadhi and he was buried. So claims of the asthi-kalash yatra are not true*. However, we will condole his death with a *yatra *across the state," he said, adding, "we will march through every village and town of Orissa despite the pressure tactics of the Christians to ensure safety of Swami Lakshmanananda's murderers." Thus, the Swami Lakshamananda Saraswati has been killed already, buried also and therefore, he is not cremated and thus, he could not have shown any miracles to claim "sainthood", but Praveen Togadia, unknowing the implication has announced the "Asti Kalash Yatra" and hence Cheenath has tried his best to stop the yatra and he appears to have succeeded, as today news reports<http://compreligion.sulekha.com/FCKeditor_2.4.3/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=txtDesc>are coming that the yatra would not be allowed.

This deliberate fanning and inflaming the communal hatred against the minority community directly resulted in the violence being planned and executed by these outfits http://www.dmanewsdesk.com/Business_news-1-20l.html Regards, Marshall
