Briefing mediapersons at the party office here, BJP state president Basant Panda said that in a democracy, everyone has the right to speak and protest in a democratic manner. Although NNKS activists have planned to stage a demonstration in Bhubaneswar, the state government has with the help of the police has disallowed them from doing so.
