Dharmendra Pradhan Slams Odisha Government

Bhubaneswar: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday said the murder of a boy for ransom and Minister Naba Das in Jharsuguda has exposed Odisha government’s tall claims on rule of law.

 “Lawless Odisha is a reality. High-time people in power recognise the fault-lines in the law and order situation in the state,” tweeted Pradhan. “Neither citizens nor public representatives are safe in Odisha. Gruesome incidents like these on a regular basis, particularly in Jharsuguda have shocked everyone and weakened the trust of people of Odisha,” he said.

“No amount of empathy will bring solace to young Samarth’s family. The Odisha govt. must pull up its socks to ensure rule of law and safety of citizens,” Pradhan added.
