My Government is Fully Committed to Ensure Justice to Mamita Meher: Naveen

Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today made a statement on the Mamita Meher issue in the Odisha Legislative Assembly and said that his government is fully committed to ensure justice to the victim.

“ My Government will ensure that no stone is left unturned to see that the perpetrators of the crime are brought to justice as per law in the shortest possible time”, the Chief Minister told.

He said, “My Government is known for credibility and impartiality and the people of Odisha have always blessed us for this. I reiterate that my Government is fully committed to ensure justice to Mamita Meher”.

Naveen said, “The death of Mamita Meher was a very sad and unfortunate incident and we are all deeply anguished and pained by this heinous crime. She was a young and bright daughter of Odisha, having a brilliant future. Her death is a terrible and irreparable loss. My heart goes out to the family of the victim”.

Condemning the politicization of the Mamita Meher, Naveen said, “In the aftermath of this terrible incident, the manner in which this very sensitive and heinous crime has been politicized shocked me as well as the people of Odisha”.

While dealing with such sensitive cases we must never forget the pain and agony the family members of the victim go through.

Things went to such an extent that the parents of the victim had to request with folded hands not to do character assassination of their daughter and politicize her death. Despite their emotional appeal, the politicization of this issue sadly continues. The family was not allowed to mourn peacefully, the CM added.
