The Congress on Sunday announced to hold a demonstration here on Monday to protest “the delay” by the State Government in providing justice to the Kunduli gangrape victim.
Congress MlA and party SC cell chief Krushna Sagaria at a Press conference here said the party would stage a demonstration in Bhubaneswar on Monday and later in Cuttack, Sambalpur, Rourkela and other places.
“The SIT probe into Kunduli incident is limited to only announcement. The Government is yet to clarify the name of the officers who will investigate the case. The Government is deliberately trying to delay the matter further,” Sagaria said.
The victim’s family has no faith on Crime Branch, HRPC probe and State police as all the agencies failed to give her justice. Police had lured family of victim with money to withdraw the case. Under such circumstances, the Government should announce name of the officials as the members of the SIT who will conduct the investigation of the case in a transparent manner, he said.
The Government doesn’t want to provide justice to the Kunduli victim even after her death, he added. “Unless the victim’s family gets justice, the Congress will continue its agitation. We seek cooperation from the people of the State on the matter,” he added.
On the other hand, the BJD refuted the allegations of the Congress.
“The Congress’ allegations are baseless. The Government has already submitted required documents before the Orissa High Court on constitution of SIT. They are only trying to politicise the issue,” said, BJD spokesperson Pratap
Keshari Deb.
