Hon'ble Sir,
1. Your Ministry is very much aware of the atrocious assassination of Ven. Sri Sri Santikali Maharaj – a prominent patriot Sant hailing from the indigenous Tripuri Tribes – at his abode namely Shanti Kali Ashram, P.O.-Birendra Nagar, P.S.-Jirania, West Tripura on 27th August, 2000 by terrorists and anti-India forces that aimed to undermine and terrorize the indigenous Tribes and urbanites of Tripura so that they give up their India-centric culture, belief, faith and ways of worship including the annual Durga Puja, etc., and give in to secessionism and proselytisation being perpetrated by centrifugal forces (the main elements being the secessionists fed and prompted by foreign Crusaders and also the infiltrator Jihadists from Bangladesh) all over in Northeast India. Your learned-self can appreciate that the assassination of Ven. Sri Sri Santikali Maharaj was a great loss to the cause of nationalist rendezvous of the Northeast Bharat with mainland Bharat. It is also true that the then Communist Government of Tripura did not take the SOS calls from his associates and devotees in view of the serious threat perceptions concerning Ven. Sri Sri Santikaliji Maharaj and the terrorists had a free run and soon executed their intimidation agenda through assassination of the leading Tripuri Saint.
2. After his Master's assassination, Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj – also a prominent Tripuri Saint held in high esteem by his compatriot Tribes – braved to take charge to fearlessly work for his late Guruji's pro-India spirituo-cultural vision and mission dedicated to the service of the underprivileged and weaker sections especially those living in the remotest hilly areas of Tripura. With the cooperation and co-creation of his 100,000 disciples he extended the small network of Ashram-cum-Service Projects (including Residential Schools for local children) from 7 to 24 that now dot various corners of Tripura.
3. As per the terrorist agenda, Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj also has since been receiving threats of dire consequences from the said anti-India forces with the direction to wind up and vanish from the scene so that they could have a free run all over with their Satanic motives. After several attempts on his life by them in which he had hair-breadth escapes, he has now been forced to shift his headquarters to Shantinagar at "Tripurasundari Hilling Sebashram, Santinagar, P.O.-Atharakath, P.S. Jirania, Tripura (West)" – 12 kms away from the previous HQs at Birendra Nagar where his Guruji was assassinated and there were attempts on his life. The attitude of the present Tripura Government and the Governor has to be positive and proactive to save this Tripuri Saint.
4. We had written to your esteemed Ministry on April 25, 2007 requesting for security cover through the Govt. of Tripura for Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj and the Santikali Ashram at Birendra Nagar. I had also met the then GOI Home Minister Sri Shivraj Patil Ji on this matter who had very kindly ensured to reinstate the security cover for Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj and the Santikali Ashram that was earlier provided by the NDA regime. For some unknown reason, the security cover has now unfortunately been withdrawn.
5. Now this is to request your esteemed Ministry to ensure that the security cover is re-established for Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj (Mobile Ph: 09402155480), President, Sree Sree Santikali Mission (Ashram) and his new HQs at Shantinagar at "Tripurasundari Hilling Sebashram, Santinagar, P.O.-Atharakath, P.S. Jirania, Tripura (West)" unless and until the security environment improves there so that he and his followers can carry out unhindered their emancipation work amongst the Tripuris including his One Lakh indigenous devotees comprising of people from Tripuri Tribal and Bengali communities spread all across Tripura. Your learned-self would discern that the anti-India forces are trying to make the indigenous Tripuris rootless while Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj and his mission are trying with farsightedness to ensure and strengthen the people's India-centric indigenous cultural moorings and roots in a remote and virtually isolated area such as our country's North-Eastern dimension which the enemies have always been trying to vivisect from mainland India by slashing the most vulnerable Siliguri Corridor (the narrow strip of land – only 21 to 40 kms in width – also called the Chicken's-neck) that connects both parts of Bharat. You would, therefore, appreciate that the works of Ven. Swami Chittaranjan Maharaj and his mission are vital and surely complementary to those of the Governments of India and Tripura as you know cultural underpinning is as important for a nation's unity and integrity as economic and political underpinning unless a nation wishes to go the USSR way.
Thanking Your Excellency in anticipation,
Maa Bhaarati and Dharma,
