The Youth Congress on Saturday began a three-day day-and-night dharna before the Raj Bhavan here protesting against the Chief Minister’s silence on the Mamita murder case and protecting Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra despite his alleged involvement in the crime.
Youth Congress activists led by State president Dr Smruti Ranjan Lenka took out a rally before congregating near the Raj Bhavan.
“If you go on delaying action against the Minister and in giving justice to Mamita’s family, Youth Congress workers would stop all your movements,” said Lenka.
It has been decided to submit a memorandum to the Governor on November 8 for his intervention in the issue. Then, the activists would move to Delhi to gherao the Odisha Resident Commissioner’s office on November 10 and stage a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on November 11.
Lenka said a delegation of Youth Congress workers would meet the President of India and submit a memorandum to him.
