Bhubaneswar: Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju arrived in Odisha’s capital on Tuesday to attend the opening ceremony of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022, which will kick off at the Kalinga Stadium in a short while.
Rijiju will also inaugurate a new office of the Additional Solicitor General and interact with the Orissa High Court Chief Justice and other judges.
On Sunday, ahead of the kick-off, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur launched a campaign, nominating Rijiju to post a video supporting the team. Rijiju responded sportingly, executing a perfect ‘rainbow flick’ in the garden of his official residence.
