BJP DECRIES COP ATTACK ON SUKTEL AGITATORS, NEWSMEN
BJP State president KV Singh Deo strongly condemned the “brutal attack” of the police on people protesting the Lower Suktel Project in Balangir district on Monday.
“Use of police force against women agitators and even severely injuring media representatives covering the event is beyond civilised approach to handle protests in a democratic setup,” he said, urging the State Government to tender unconditional apology for the attack on mediapersons and agitators. Singh Deo said the Government is bound by its moral and legal obligations to take care of interests of displaced families with more human touch, but the Naveen Patnaik Government is insensitive to the genuine demands of people.
His party stands for compensation to displaced families at current market price of land, he added. Singh Deo also denounced the arrest of women agitators and demanded their early release without putting them to any legal hurdles. He advised the Government to enter into negotiations with the agitators and amicably settle the issue with more concern for displaced families.
