BHUBANESWAR:
The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) has called for a State-wide dawn-to-dusk hartal
on Tuesday demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in the
issue of mining scam in the State.
Keeping in view of the election
on Wednesday, the party has decided to exempt the area under the Bhubaneswar
Municipal Corporation (BMC) from hartal. “We have exempted the city from hartal
due to election. We’ll only hold demonstration only in the State capital,” said
PCC president Jaydev Jena.
Business establishments and
educational institutions across the State would remain close on Tuesday. Bank
service, bus service and train service will also be paralysed due to hartal,
said a party leader, adding, “The dawn-to-dusk hartal will be peaceful and
nobody would be forced to participate in it.”
The PCC leaders particularly said
that Naveen Patnaik’s role in the mining loot is now exposed and for which he
must resign forthwith and should be arrested.
The hartal will tell the people
of the State about the failure of the State Government in protecting the mining
loot in the State, said the PCC leaders.
