The Orissa State committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 4 claimed responsibility for the killing of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati in the Kandhamal district on August 23, reports The Hindu. Speaking to a team of journalists from Bhubaneswar in a forest in Kandhamal, the spokesperson of the outfit's Orissa unit, Sabyasachi Panda alias Sunil, said it became necessary to eliminate the Swami as he was forcing tribals and Dalit Christians in Kandhamal to convert to Hinduism. "After the December 2007 communal violence in Kandhamal, we threatened to kill him if he and his supporters did not refrain from harassing tribals and Dalit Christians to change their religion", Panda said. Panda claimed that the members of the People's Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) who took part in killing them Swami had left two letters at the spot at Jalaspata ashram, claiming responsibility for the killing. "The government, however, suppressed the letters to help rioters continue with their attacks on the minority community," Panda added.

On October 16, the Crime Branch of Orissa Police confirmed that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) had killed Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Lakshmanananda Saraswati in the Kandhamal district on August 23 by involving some local armed groups, reports The Hindu.

The extremists who committed the crime were armed with automatic weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Police sources said. The local youths also took part in the crime and stood guard around the ashram when the Maoists executed their plan. The youths belonged to about four different groups from nearby villages.

Indian Express reports that the Orissa Government has initiated steps to start a scheme of deploying 2,000 armed tribal youths as special police officers (SPOs) in five Maoist-infested districts to fight the extremists. A Orissa Home Department resolution (No 47958 dated October 25, 2008) indicates that tribal men and women in the age group of 18-25 years from Maoist-infested districts of Malkangiri, Koraput, Gajapati, Rayagada and Kandhamal districts would be appointed on a contractual basis for the first three years. Required to pass at least Standard VIII, they would undergo training in arms and ammunition like a regular policeman. As SPOs, they would be paid INR 4,000 in the first two years and INR 4,500 in the third year after which they might be absorbed as sepoys or constables in the regular police vacancies. A senior home department official said, “It’s just like Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist civilian vigilante movement in Chhattisgarh). They will be doing the same things that the SPOs in Chhattisgarh are doing. The aim is to let the tribals defend themselves against the onslaught of Maoists.”
