VHP also said that if the commission honors this anti social element, we will be forced to protest.

 It is also to note that following the NCM’s request for a background check on Singh, Kandhamal District Collector B S Poonia, in a report sent last month, said: “A confidential inquiry was conducted by the DSP, DIB, Kandhamal, and forwarded by SP, Kandhamal. The report indicates that it is not advisable to consider the case of Ajay Kumar Singh...for the Minority Rights Day Award as it may have an adverse impact on the peace and communal harmony in the ethno-communal hyper-sensitive district of Kandhamal.”  “We will protest peacefully if the commission refuse to listen the voice of the tribes and Hindu society” said shri Gurdeen Prasad Rustagi, the Vice president VHP Delhi.
