The failure of the Congress Government in Orissa in preventing the incident stands established. The BJP and the Vajpayee Government are vindicated. The Congress president and her colleagues, not to mention their Communist friends, are guilty of preaching falsehood and exacerbating communal and social tensions through vicious lies. The act of murdering Staines and his two children was inspired by Dara Singh and his clout and no authority, organisation or any other person played any role in or in connection with the killings. There is no evidence that any authority or organisation was behind the gruesome killings.
State is to be strengthened.
Frequent illogical and irrational transfers of officers, specially of District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police, are to be avoided. It is certainly a doctored document. Then there is the arrest of 51 persons initially in connection with this case which was apparently without any reasonable basis. Their detention for over two months in custody appears, prima facie, to be unjustified. There should be an independent inquiry to find out the circumstances leading to the recording of the FIR, arrest of innocent persons and how they are to be recompensed for their illegal detention.
