Hundreds of Biju Janata Dal (BJD) activists here on Tuesday staged a demonstration and shouted slogan against two news outlets which published objectionable items against Pallahara BJD MLA Mukesh Pal.
The BJD activists congregated here in the market square and burnt the copies of a local newspaper. They objected the way the news outlets, a local newspaper and a YouTube channel, made news continuously on the elected people’s representative of the area for vested interest.
The demonstration was led by Biju Chhatra Janata Dal leader Sabyasachi Kapardar. The BJD activists also lodged an FIR against the publisher and area reporter Khageswar Pingua of the news paper. Later, they took out a rally.
