A united group of activists has appealed the parents as well as students across the State to boycott the functions graced by the Chief Minister, Ministers, Collectors on the Children’s Day, in protest against the killing of Tikiri schoolteacher Itishree Pradhan.
Odisha Nagarika Surakshya Mancha leaders here on Friday attacked CM Naveen Patnaik and DGP Prakash Mishra and others involved in the case, and demanded that National Bravery award be conferred on Itishree posthumously for her courageous fight against injustice till the end.
Demanding Rs 1 crore ex-gratia, they said that the money be recovered from the dismissed Tikiri IIC, Rayagada SP, Collector, School and Mass Education Minister and Secretary, DGP and Chief Minister.
The Manch leaders appealed to the common men to go for a peaceful protest on November 14, while flaying the Opposition parties for not playing their role properly.
They also demanded the arrest of Rayagada SP, Collector and DGP for their negligence in duty. “Now rape and murder at Rs 10 lakh” is the new mantra of the Naveen Patnaik Government, they quipped.
On Friday morning, a signature campaign to oust the BJD Government was held which was joined by hundreds of supporters.
