SP demands resignation of SCW chair in Pipili case


BHUBANESWAR: Demanding the resignation of chairperson of State Commission for Women on her distorted report on Pipili gang rape issue, workers and supporters of Samajwadi Party staged a rally at Lower PMG here on Monday. A five-member delegation of the party has submitted a memorandum to Governor Murlidhar Chandrakant Bhandare requesting immediate action.

In their memorandum, the party said the report of the State Commission for Women regarding the issue of Pipili gang rape was biased and fabricated. It was more meant for defending the accused rather than providing justice to the poor victim who is battling for life at SCB Medical College, they added.

The party also alleged that chairperson’s views reflects one-sided and partition approach which seems as if she is acting like the spokes person and agent of the ruling party.

“The report is not only painful rather betrays the basic objectives of the institution of Mahila Commission itself. Her august office is supposed to defend the dignity of the women of the State and to provide justice to the poor victims who succumb to exploitation and torture,” said Samajwadi Party Odisha unit president Rabi Behera.
