[Religious Intelligence] 22 Oct 2008--A Hindu nationalist outfit in the eastern state of Orissa has demanded the arrest of a 28-year-old Catholic nun who was gang-raped and paraded naked in front of policemen during the worst-ever spate of anti-Christian violence in that state.

The demand was made by hundreds of women of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti (Committee for Serving the Nation) yesterday in Orissa’s Kandhamal district, the epicentre of the violence that began following the murder of a leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council or VHP), Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, and four of his disciples on August 23.
