Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Assembly was on Friday adjourned till 11.30 am with Opposition legislators continuing to create ruckus in the well of the House over inaction against Minister of State (Home) Dibya Shankar Mishra.
The BJP and Congress MLA were seen beating gongs and sounding bells as a mark of protest over the government’s refusal to drop the minister despite allegations of having tried to shield the main accused in Kalahandi teacher Mamita Meher murder case.
Notably, no significant business has been undertaken in the House from its commencement day with protests, sloganeering, blocking of assembly gate, beating gongs and bells and sprinkling gangajal and cow dung for purification taking the centre stage.
Both the parties have been demanding Mishra’s arrest and his removal from the council of ministers. The state government, however, has so far maintained that a former district judge is already inquiring into the matter and all should wait for the results of the inquiry.
Amid the continuing protest, the session is likely to be curtailed and adjourned sine die after the Appropriation Bill is tabled in the house on Friday.
