The bandh has been called off, but do not let it divert attention from
the fact that fifty thousand kandhmal refugees will spend the
Christmas as follows:
30,000 in forest areas out of their villages
10,000 in government  camps for refugees
10,000 in private and church camps in orissa, andhra, madhya pradesh

the debate in Lords, the sustained campaign  by everyone put pressure
on govt to put pressure on its bjp ally to put pressure on their vhp
ally

the government has to now ensure mischief makers do not sabotage the peace.


Christmas bandh called off in Orissa
NDTV Correspondent

Saturday, December 20, 2008, (Bhubaneshwar)

The bandh call given by the Sangh Parivar in Orissa on Christmas day
has been called off.

The decision was taken after the leaders of Swami Laxmananand
Saraswati Shraddhanjali Samiti met with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik
along with BJP leaders.

Earlier, Naveen Patnaik had sent a letter of appeal to the Samiti to
withdraw its proposed bandh on December 25 in view of the state
government's sincere efforts to nab the killers of Swami Laxmananand
as well as the conspirators behind the killings.

Leaders of the Christian community and other organisations have
welcomed the decision
