In a bold move to address the alarming rise in violence against women in Odisha, the Congress party has organized a massive protest, aiming to gather nearly one lakh participants.
The event, scheduled for Thursday, will see demonstrators encircling the state assembly to demand accountability and action from the government.
Senior Congress leaders, including PCC President Bhakta Das, Narasingha Mishra, and Srikant Jena, have called for widespread participation to ensure the success of this initiative. They have accused the BJP-led government of unconstitutional practices and failing to uphold democratic values.
The protest comes in the wake of recent police actions that Congress leaders have condemned as excessive and undemocratic. The party hopes this demonstration will compel the government to address the grievances of the people and take decisive steps to curb violence against women.
