“The immature & thoughtless assertion of the Chief Minister that 'The Adivasis were never ever Hindus, nor are they Hindus now harms and upsets the belief and faith of our patriotic and Dharmnishth/devout forest-dweller brethren – and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) strongly condemns it” he added.
“It seems that by denying the Vanvasi society its great personages – their share of the glorious historic credit of unique contributions to the causes of the country, Dharm and culture, he is sitting with and playing into the hands of the scheming and plotting Christian missionaries, communists and Naxalites. It shall never be acceptable” he added.

Parande also said that the political leadership of society ought to make statements with great sense of responsibility and accountability. The planned and systematic sickening and despicable attempts that he is making to confuse, misguide and disorient the Vanvasi society.
The VHP leader further said that Chief Minister Soren must desist from dividing the heroic-serene Vanvasi society or attacking their indigenous faith for the sake of his petty political gains and vested interests. We will not let our great Vanvasi communities fall victim to any such sadistic agenda.
