BHUBANESWAR:
Protesting the police excess on Congress workers in Balangir and anti-Posco
agitators in Dhinkia-Govindpur area in Jagatsinghpur district, the Congress
leaders led by Pradesh Congress Committee president Niranjan Patnaik met
Governor MC Bhandare here on Tuesday and handed over a four page memorandum
regarding failure of the State Government to control law and order situation of
the State.
Opposing the failure and inaction
of the police, deteriorating law and order situations across the State and
corruption by the Government machinery, the Congress staged demonstration in
front of the Raj Bhawan here. After meeting the Governor, the PCC chief urged him
to take appropriate action against Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and to arrest him
as per law. “There is no democracy, rule of law and constitution in the State
for which the Chief Minister is responsible,” he said.
The Congress leaders said the party
activists had protested peacefully by democratic means during the visit of the
Chief Minister to Balangir, but the demonstrators were brutally assaulted in an
undemocratic and barbaric way by the BJD activist in presence of the Chief Minister,
local MP, MLA and the police. The police helped the assailants instead of
protecting the demonstrators which clearly shows that there was a conspiracy by
the Chief Minister and his party men to assault congress workers, they alleged.
