Bhubaneswar, 11 June (H.S.) : BJP State Spokesperson Anil Biswal on Thursday questioned former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik about the missing Naidu Commission report concerning the murder of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati.

What information was contained in the inquiry commission report on Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati's murder that allegedly caused such apprehension for the BJD government and the former Chief Minister, leading to its disappearance from the Chief Minister's Office? Anil Biswal asked.

He further stated, The people of Odisha will never forgive Naveen Babu, who served as Chief Minister for 24 years, for such an act. If these allegations are true, this incident could permanently tarnish his legacy in Odisha's history. This is not merely a political conspiracy; it also suggests that the previous BJD government protected forces involved in religious conversion activities in Odisha.

Biswal added, Why did the former Chief Minister visit Rome, and is there any connection between that visit and the disappearance of the Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati murder commission report? Was this done to prevent embarrassment to a foreign organization? These are among the many questions that continue to trouble the minds of the people of Odisha today.

The BJP Spokesperson highlighted, In 2016, the Naidu Commission report was submitted to former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Despite repeated demands, he refused to make it public throughout his tenure until 2024. The true reasons behind this are now gradually becoming clear.

Biswal concluded, Making the commission report on Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati's murder public was one of our key commitments during the election campaign. We were, and remain, dedicated to exposing both the perpetrators of the murder and those who orchestrated it. Sooner or later, we will certainly fulfill this commitment.
