Bhubaneswar: Odia language is missing from the Sahitya Akademi’s invitation card for the national level literary festival ‘Festival of Letters’ to be held in New Delh. Pointing this out, ‘Bhasha Andolan’, an organisation working for Odia language, said the language had ‘not been treated well.”
Chairman of Bhasha Andolan and Odisha Nagarik Manch, Pradyumna Satpathy said the invitation card the Sahitya Akademi has got printed for the festival has hurt the sentiments of Odias,
The six-day long literary festival will began on February 24.
