"Even though Union Ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Lalu Prasad have demanded that the Centre should ban Bajrang Dal, another Union Minister Hansraj Bhardwaj has found no evidence of Bajrang Dal's involvement in the violence and thus there is no chance of Centre imposing a ban," VHP president Ashok Singhal said.
He criticised Paswan and Prasad for demanding the ban on Bajrang Dal.
Singhal alleged that Christians had hatched a deep-rooted conspiracy to kill Swami Lakhamananda in Kandhmal with the help of Maoists who are Christians.
He said that Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was not aware of the conspiracy and VHP provided him with minutes of a Church meeting in May, 2008 in which the decision to eliminate the Swami was taken.
"We strongly feel there is a nexus between Christians and Maoists and the latter supplied arms and ammunitions to Christians in Orissa," Singhal said.
To a question, as to why VHP has not so far condemned the violence in Orissa, Singhal said, "I am no Mahatma Gandhi nor I want to become Gandhi."
He said Muslim and Christian communities should learn to live with majority Hindus in the country.

Dear Mr Ashok Singhal,You are nothing but a fanatic megalomaniac. Nobody expects you to be Mahatma Gandhi, nobody will ever even imagine thinking of you in relation to Mahatma Gandhi and nobody needs an exclamation from you saying you are not Mahatma Gandhi because it is so terribly obvious.
it is shameful that the minority christians are being attacked in orissa and othe places for no fault of their own. leaders like ashok singhla are not justified in supporting these attacks. all should strive to bring in peace and harmony.
Ashok singal said Muslim and Christian communities should learn to live with majority Hindus in the country.Means Muslim and Christian become hindu and belive as Imaginary God . which God has no record in History. 1st Image made in india Budha as profet or God . Bhuda And Mahiwer Jain History before crticeses 2500 year that time society belive as god Sun , Moon and Earth devi when came Ram , Krisan And sanker or so many God In Gupta samraj ALL GOD ARE inmeginery, this the Hindu religion. such religion try to belive all community which will be never .
i refer to views of Manoj kumar regarding imaginery hindu gods. mr manoj is entitled to his opinion. hindus can also cling to their religious beliefs. all we need is tolerance while retaining personal religious beliefs. it is no use making critical remarks against any religion or community. it is the religious intolerance that led to inhuman attacks on christians in orissa and other places.
