Just now I read a report on the net, titled: 'Many Kandhmal victims alive'. The link is:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Many-Kandhmal-victims-alive/article show/4511671.cms I think the important part of the article is: "Explaining the wide gap between its own and Cheenath's toll figure, the state said: "The petitioner's list included the names of RSS activists -- Dhanurjaya Pradhani, Ajit Kumar Mallick and Prabhat Panigrahi -- allegedly killed by naxalites." Further, 10 persons, declared dead on Cheenath's list, were found alive, the state said, adding the archbishop's list also included three persons killed in police firing as well as two policemen....Field inquiries from tehsildars and local police about missing names from the official list of those killed during the riots revealed that "in 10 cases, persons are still alive, in 25 cases persons have died because of chronic and other medical problems, in 12 cases reference/history of persons with reported names could not be traced in villages mentioned against their names, and in two cases villages mentioned could not be located," the Patnaik government said." I wonder why it is necessary to exaggerate, and resort to lies, to make one's case. Clearly there seems to be a dangerous agenda in all this. Best regards, Dr. U. G. Barad
