Malda.  Vishva Hindu Parishad today demands action against the attackers & its conspirators on mass marriage of 133 Tribal couples in a village near Malda district of West Bengal yesterday. Addressing a press conference, Shri Achchutanand of VHP Bengal said that we are running thousands of Sewa Karya(service projects) in the field of health, education, women empowerment, skill & village development for the welfare of our tribal brethren. VHP always remains at forefront to protect the tribal culture & traditions which is persistently being attacked by the Christian missionaries and communists.  Life struggle & sacrifice of Bhagwan shri Birsa Munda ji is the burning example of the tribal society’s fight against the missionaries.

          As part of our regular service projects in SC/ST & tribal belts, the mass wedding ceremony for poor couples was organised by us with purely tribal social rituals in a Pandal clearly reflecting our great tribal culture & traditions yesterday. Despite having the due permission from the authorities and 100+ policeman were present at the venue, the ceremony was attacked by the henchmen of Jharkhand Dishom party with bows, arrows and sharp weapons injuring the participants and destroying valuables belongs to the poor couples. The Mamata Govt. police stood as mute spectators which, raises many questions.

    It seems the complicity & anti-Hindu attitude of the ruling political party (of West Bengal). The role of Christian Missionaries & communists in this act of vandalism and provocation also needs to be investigated. We have lodged an FIR, demanding immediate arrests of the culprits otherwise we will be forced to carry out a State wide protest to expose them & save our tribal brethren.
