The leader of the opposition in the Odisha assembly, Naveen Patnaik, has made a heartfelt appeal to all citizens to maintain peace and harmony in the state. He expressed his concerns regarding the recent allegations of atrocities against a certain group of people. In a recent post, the former chief minister emphasized that Odisha has always been a state where communal harmony and peace have coexisted for centuries.
Patnaik stated that he has met with numerous groups and individuals who have shared their grievances with him. He expressed sadness over the fact that they have become victims of discrimination and attacks. He also highlighted the alarming reports of social unrest in different parts of the state.
In light of these developments, Patnaik urged all communities to come together and protect the image and dignity of Odisha. He stressed the importance of maintaining law and order, and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property in order to uphold the peaceful nature of the state. Furthermore, he appealed to the government and its officials to take necessary actions to protect people from all walks of life.
It is worth mentioning that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, recently requested her Odisha counterpart, Mohan Charan Majhi, to address the alleged incidents of assault on laborers from Odisha in West Bengal. In response, Odisha's Additional Director General, Sanjay Kumar, acknowledged that there was one isolated incident in this regard.
Kumar explained that a few days ago, there was an unnecessary occurrence where a group of people demanded to see the identity cards of some individuals to check if they were migrants from Bangladesh. He confirmed that this was completely uncalled for and unacceptable. He also reassured that, despite concerns about possible Bangladeshi infiltrators entering Odisha, there have been no such incidents as the coast has been on high alert.
Regarding the recent tension in Bhadrak, where members of a group were detained and asked to prove their credentials, Kumar stated that the police intervened and resolved the matter. He also issued strict instructions to all senior officials to not allow anyone to take the law into their own hands. He assured that strict actions would be taken against those who do so.
Kumar also urged citizens to inform the police if they have any information about foreign nationals staying illegally in the state. He assured that the police would take appropriate action. He also mentioned that the police are taking necessary precautions for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations.
In conclusion, Kumar emphasized that the ongoing political turmoil in Bangladesh should not have any negative impact on Indian soil. He urged everyone to work together to maintain peace and harmony in the state of Odisha.
