    Odisha: BJP accuses BJD of protecting perpetrators of Sambalpur violence

    [ad_1]

    Bhubaneswar: Continuing the attack on the ruling BJD over the recent clashes in Sambalpur, senior Odisha BJP leader Samir Mohanty alleged on Tuesday that the ruling party is protecting the perpetrators of the communal violence.

    Addressing a press conference here, former state BJP chief Mohanty said that Odisha has been witnessing anarchy and lawlessness.

    “As the law and order situation has deteriorated, it has put a big question on the safety and security of the people of Odisha. The murder of a Cabinet minister, the kidnap and murder of a boy in Jharsuguda, and similar incidents in different parts of the state clearly show the deteriorating law and order situation in Odisha,” he said.

    Mohanty also accused the BJD government of giving shelter to the rioters who unleashed violence in Sambalpur during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations.

    When a Hanuman Jayanthi procession was taken out in Sambalpur On April 12, stones were pelted on it, people were attacked with sticks, and petrol bombs were seized from the roof of some houses. Besides, anti-national slogans were also raised, alleged the BJP leader.

    However, Mohanty claimed that state minister Pratap Keshari Deb has blamed the organisers of the Hanuman Jayanti celebrations for the violence in Sambalpur.

    “The language used by Deb shows that the government is shielding the rioters. Is it not an anti-Hindu mentality to blame the organisers for the violence that happened during the Hanuman Jayanti celebrations in Sambalpur,” he asked.

    “In the FIR, the police mentioned that there were 150 to 160 rioters, whose videos are circulating on social media. However, the police are sitting idle after arresting only 30 persons,” he added.

    Mohanty also asked who is creating pressure on the police to not arrest the other rioters involved in the violence?

    Reacting to the allegations levelled by Mohanty, BJD spokesperson Lenin Mohanty said, “Due to the strong and whole-hearted resolve of the people of Sambalpur and resolute efforts of the police and administration, normalcy is returning to Sambalpur. But unfortunately, the Odisha BJP cannot tolerate.”

    The BJD leader said the law and order situation in Odisha is much better than BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka.

    The people of Odisha are peace-loving, but the BJP has been constantly insulting them by calling them lawless, Lenin Mohanty said.

    New Delhi Union minister Smriti Irani on Friday hit out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the violence during a Ram Navami procession in Howrah and accused her of protecting those who pelted it with stones.

    In a statement, the BJP leader said it was not the first time that such an “attack” happened on a religious exercise of Hinduism and alleged a similar attack had taken place during Lakshmi Puja.

    “Even then Mamata Banerjee could not protect the Hindu community,” Irani said.

    “Instead of delivering justice, CM Mamata protected those who took law in their hands and attacked the Shobha Yatra of Ram Navami. She instead put those who took out the yatra in the dock and gave a clean chit to those who pelted the procession with stones,” the Union minister said.

    Banerjee on Friday asserted that neither Hindus nor Muslims, but the BJP and other right-wing organisations were behind the violence in Howrah’s Kazipara area during a procession on Ram Navami.

    She also appealed to the people of both communities to maintain peace and law and order in the area.

  • It is clear PM Modi protecting Adani: Rahul Gandhi

    It is clear PM Modi protecting Adani: Rahul Gandhi

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged it was clear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was protecting Gautam Adani as he did not order an inquiry into the allegations leveled against the industrialist by a US-based research firm.

    He said the prime minister did not answer the questions posed to him.

    “I am not satisfied, but it reveals the truth. There was no talk of an inquiry. If he is not a friend, then he should have agreed to an inquiry. There was no probe into shell companies in defense sector and benami money is changing hands, but the prime minister did not say anything about that.

    “It is clear that the prime minister is protecting him,” Gandhi told reporters after the prime minister’s reply to the motion of thanks in the President’s address.

    Gandhi said this is an issue of national security and concerns the country’s infrastructure and the prime minister should have said that there will be a probe into the allegations.

    “This is a very big scam. He did not even say that. He (PM) is surely trying to protect him (Adani) and I understand this and there are reasons for it,” he said.

    Asked if he got the answers to his questions, the former Congress chief said, “I did not get any reply from the prime minister to my questions.”

    “The prime minister was shell-shocked. He was in shock and there was no answer. I have not asked any complicated questions. I only asked how many times he (Adani) has gone with you. How many times did he meet you? I posed simple questions but got no answers,” he said.

    “I am not satisfied, but it reveals the truth,” he said when asked if he was satisfied with the prime minister’s reply.

    UNICEF stressed “the right of all children to enjoy special protection under international human rights law,” and said, “All their rights, including the right to life and protection, must be preserved at all times.”

    UNICEF said children continue to pay the highest price for violence.

    UNICEF stressed that “violence is never a solution, and all forms of violence against children are unacceptable and this must end.”

    In this context, it called on all parties to “stop the escalation, exercise maximum restraint, and refrain from using violence, especially against children, in accordance with international law.”
