As the members went on raising slogans unabated by flaunting placards, Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro had to adjourn the House till 4 PM.
The winter session of the Odisha Assembly began on a stormy note even on Wednesday as opposition Congress legislators staged a ‘dharna’ before two entry points and locked another gate of the House over Mamita Meher’s murder case.
They were demanding justice for the victim and the removal of the Minister of State for Home for his alleged close link with the prime accused in the case.
Prior to 4 pm the beginning of the House proceedings, the Congress MLAs staged a ‘dharna’ on two of the entry points to the House holding placards demanding Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s reply, removal & arrest of minister Mishra and justice for Mamita Meher.
