Orissa clashes premeditated: Minority Commission

New Delhi: CNN-IBN has learnt that the Minority Commission report on the Kandhamal violence severely indicts the Orissa government for not doing enough to prevent the communal conflagration that gripped the state late in December.

The Commission went all the way to Phulbani, although it stopped short of visiting Kandhamal.

The Commission says that it is convinced of what Christian groups have been alleging – that they were the targets of attacks; that the Naveen Patnaik government had prior information that there would be trouble around Christmas and, therefore, could have prevented the attacks; and right-wing organisations like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, actively involved in anti-conversions, spear-headed the attacks.

The authors of the report hold that the Kandhamal flareup is far more complex than a clash between Christains and Hindus, and the Christians are living in fear.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has, however, been exonerated of conspiracy although the charges of negligence levelled at him by Christians groups still stand.

The minority commission had taken suo motu cognisance of the recent violence in Kandhamal and now its report is ready and will be made public in a few days.
