Odisha Assembly witnessed a huge ruckus by the opposition Biju Janata Dal and Indian National Congress members over different issues. The BJD MLAs created a massive uproar in the house over the alleged controversial and divisive remarks by senior BJP leader and Sambalpur MLA Jayanarayan Mishra. The Congress legislators continued their protest against the state government in the state assembly over alleged rise in the incidents of violence against women in the last eight months under the BJP-led state government. The pandemonium forced speaker Surama Padhy to adjourn the house first till 12.09 pm and later till 1 pm. However, as the opposition continued to create uproar, Padhy later again adjourned the house till 4 pm in the afternoon. The opposition demanded a statement from Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi clarifying the stateGovernment’s stand on the issue on the floor of the house. The party leaders will also submit memorandums after the protest on theissue. The state government has been given a long period of nine months, However, various incidents of crime against women are on the rise. The girl students are also not safe in the schools. We have been raising our voice in the House over the women’s safety but the government is not giving any heed to this,” said Congress MLA Sofia Firdous.
