International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The item *was* published in the "secular" press ... in 2005. See below! It came from a news agency, which based its report entirely on an Organiser (the RSS mouthpiece!) report. In Goa too, we have seen the frightening trend where the "secular" press is infiltrated with communal ideas. From all sides of the fence. Take a look at the saffronisation of the media in Goa itself, after the Parrikar stint in power and before. There are also the Rajan Narayans who blatantly argue that they shaped their publications as "Christian" oriented newspapers, primarily as a marketing strategy! FN http://www.newindpress.com/Newsitems.asp?ID=IEH20050710094712&Title=Top+Stor RSS activists rescue Christian priests Monday July 11 2005 00:00 IST PTI NEW DELHI: Activists from the RSS recently rescued 80 Christian priests who had met with an accident in the forests of Sambalpur in Orissa. A marriage party, comprising 90 Christian priests was returning by a truck to Goudpil from Jamankeri when it met with an accident. Ten of them died on the spot and 80 others were seriously injured, a report in the latest issue of the RSS mouthpiece, Organiser, said. An RSS activist heard their shouts and brought in as many as 50 Sangh volunteers to help them. They rescued the priests, admitted them to a nearby hospital and donated blood, the report said. The weekly quoted Bishop Samal as saying, "These boys have given us a new life. We are grateful to them. May god bless them.'' RSS state secretary B B Nanda said they had helped the priests on humanitarian grounds, as all were children of God.
