The recent ink attack on the president of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee, Sarat Pattanayak, has caused quite a stir within the party. In response, the party has taken a strong stance and has expelled five of its leaders for a period of six years due to their involvement in this incident. The expelled leaders include Prakash Mishra, Shriyasmita Panda, Sandip Routray, Amresh Parida, and Aryan Sasmal, who held various positions within the party.
The Disciplinary Action Committee of the OPCC released a statement on Sunday, condemning the actions of these party leaders. They deemed the act of throwing ink at their state president on June 21st as highly undisciplined and damaging to the party's image. The committee also referred to the incident as "anti-party and indisciplinary," and based on television footage, they concluded that the five leaders were responsible for this behavior.
Santosh Singh Saluja, the Chairman of the Disciplinary Action Committee, issued a letter stating the names of the expelled party members and their punishment. The party had initially suspected the involvement of miscreants affiliated with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party or another political party. However, the expulsion order confirmed that the attack was carried out by disgruntled party workers, highlighting the internal conflicts within the party.
This incident has brought to light the internal squabbles within the Congress party, which is a major cause of concern. The party had been quick to point fingers at external forces, but now it is evident that they need to address the issues within their own ranks. Such acts of indiscipline and anti-party behavior will not be tolerated, and the party has taken a firm stance by expelling these five leaders for a significant period of six years. It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the party's image and future decisions.
