Odisha
Assembly on Saturday adjourned over murder of RTI activist. Opposition congress
has been demanded a declaration from Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on the
alleged killing of RTI activist Krupasindhu Sahu at Niali in Cuttack district.
The issue was
raised by Congress member Naba Kumar Das during the zero hour. Das alleged that
the state government was attempting to protect the culprits as the murder
allegation was made against the local BJD MLA, local Block Office, and police.
Sahu, also a farmer, had sought information regarding cultivation in Niali
area. Later he was killed and his body buried.
Leader of
Opposition Narasingha Mishra demanded answer from the Chief Minister as Speaker Niranjan Pujari has remained
silent on the matter and angry Congress member stormed into well and shouted
slogans against the government.
Speaker
Pujari adjourned the House twice for 10 minutes in first phase and for another
30 minutes in second phase when Congress members attempted to climb the
speaker’s podium.
When the
House reassembled at 12.30 hours, Pujari in his ruling directed the state
government to make a statement on the matter relating to Sahu’s killing on Monday.
