Bhubaneswar: BJD President and Leader of Opposition in the Odisha Assembly, Naveen Patnaik, expressed profound grief and outrage over the tragic suicide of another young girl from Pattamundai, Kendrapara, who set herself on fire in desperation after her pleas for justice were ignored.
“Deeply saddened and anguished to know that another girl from Pattamundai, Kendrapara has set herself on fire in desperation after her pleas for justice fell on deaf ear yet again. My condolences for the young girl and prayers are with the family members in the hour grief. May God give the family members strength to bear this irreparable loss”, Naveen said.
Coming down heavily on the BJP-led state government, the BJD supremo said, “It pains to know that within a month, three young girls have lost their lives in very similar circumstances. Each fatal flame that consumed these innocent lives indicates a disturbing pattern in Odisha. Three daughters of our soil died in broad daylight because of the apathetic administration failed to hear their screams at every turn. Not to mention many more such heinous crimes against women being reported across the state, almost daily”.
How many more funeral pyres must light up before the state BJP government will wake up? How many more mothers must hold the ashes of their daughters before the BJP government act? It is a terrible neglect by the state BJP government, Naveen added.
