Bhubaneswar: Even as legislator Jaynarayan Mishra grabbed headlines for allegedly pushing a woman police officer during a BJP protest in Sambalpur, the ruling BJD on Wednesday sought an apology from him and demanded his removal as Leader of the Opposition in the Odisha Legislative Assembly.

Addressing a presser, BJD Spokesperson Shreemayee Mishra said: “Jaynarayan Mishra is a habitual offender with 14 cases, including murder, against him for which he also had been to jail. He is known for threatening and assaulting people. Today, he again assaulted an on-duty police officer. The video of this shocking assault is there for all to see.”

Is this how Odisha BJP and its leaders show respect and protect the dignity of women? she questioned and added that the legislator had embarrassed his party also in the past through similar actions.
