The Fallen Hero...Bah Rijoy Sing Khongshah...To Whom militants abducted and Gunned Down for being RSS Worker in Khasi Hills of Meghalaya....
RSS for the first time directly started working in Khasi tribe in 1990,with sending Pracharaks from all over India to handle and spearhead organizational activities in hills area.Earlier RSS was working only in non-tribals residing in Shillong and other small town areas where non-tribals were living.
After deploying dedicated manpower for hills area RSS got huge number of tribal workers which were following ancestral Niam tynrai faith and working for Seng Khasi-The organization run by Non-Christian Khasis for the preservation of ancestral Niam tynrai faith.
Rijoy Sing Khongshah was Seng Khasi office bearer who started working with RSS and gradually became active as RSS worker.He was quiet influential in Khasi hills because of his natural organising skills and his soft spoken and gentle behavior.
Hills increasing activity and popularity was becoming headache for Christians in Khasi hills.To make him inactive or to immobilize him and basically to ctt him off from RSS these Christian elements has employed HNLC.
Day by day Rijoy Sing ji started receiving death threats from unknown persons and warnings from Christians to dissociate himself from RSS.But he didn't paid much importance to these threats.
When HNLC observed that Rijoy Sing is not giving much importance to threats it directly abducted him from his residence on 1st March 2001 at Jaiaw Shillong.One more Seng Khasi escaped from the militants.
As the news of abduction of Rijoy Sing spread all over Khasi and Jaintia hills anger started growing among Seng Khasi and RSS workers.Christians and HNLC both started hunting for way out of this situation.And new militant outfit came to fore to take the responsibility of abduction of Rijoy Sing ji.
Even after continuous efforts by Seng Khasi and RSS to secure release of Rijoy Sing no progress occurred.and finally in August 2001 Seng Khasi arranged huge protest rally in Shillong in which at least 20000 Seng Khasi workers turned out.This has created fear among HNLC and Christians.
But prior to that HNLC killed Rijoy Sing ji at unknown place in Khasi hills.Thus Rijoy Sing proved his mettle by not surrendering to Christian militancy and following the Satya Marg-Way to Truth till his last breath.
Long Live RIJOY SING KHONGSHAH.................
