1000 Days of Governance, 236 Attacks Against Christians and 1000's Traumatised in Karnataka

(1)Reject Justice Somasekhar Commission Report and uphold Constitutional Guarantees … (2) Drop the falsely framed cases against 338 Christian youth in Mangalore...  (3)Order CBI probe to unravel the mystery behind the relentless attacks against Christians... (4) Stop attacks against Christians....

“The Somasekhar Commission Report goes on to note, that 'the plea that organizations like Bajrang Dal, needs identification and registration for legal control deserves acceptance. But unfortunately, one is unable to reconcile with the categorical finding of a lack of involvement of  the 'mainstream Sangh Parivar' in the attacks with the finding of the responsibility of both Bajrang Dal and Mahendra Kumar.

Further, the Annexure XLVII of the Report which lists 56 churches that were attacked, specifically names Hindu fundamentalist organisations which were involved in the attacks on the following 14 churches and a school:

It is clear that the Bajrang Dal and the Hindu Jagran Vedike are specifically named as being behind the attacks on 12 churches with the responsibility being cast on the Sangh Parivar in the matter of the attack on one other church. In the face of this Annexure of his own  Report,  the question to ask is whether Justice Somshekar is at all justified in giving a clean chit to the Sangh Parivar ? The only way, Justice Somshekar can do that is by concluding that neither the Bajrang Dal nor the Hindu Jagran Vedike are members of the Sangh Parivar.
However the material before the Commission itself both in terms of submissions made before it as well as the cross examination of Mahendra Kumar indicates the linkages between the Bajrang Dal and the VHP and the link to the RSS.

What emerges clearly in the material before the Commission is that the Bajrang Dal does not act independently but is really a part of a larger parivar or family which controls and directs their actions. In the cross by Learned Advocate Ibrahim of CW-139, Mahendra Kumar on Page 12 CW-139 states that the Bajrang Dal's central office is in Bangalore and it is in the compound of the VHP.  There is a relationship between the Dal and the VHP as evident from this evidence of Mahendra Kumar at page 20 of his deposition.  This admission by Mahendra Kumar ( CW 139) one of the key witnesses before the Commission, of the relationship between the Bajrang Dal and the VHP  must be read in the context of the conclusions of the Liberhan Commission which were also placed before the Commission.

Let the truth set us free,
