Bhubaneswar: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday took a swipe at Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik over his silence in the Kalahandi schoolteacher Mamita Meher murder case.
Dharmendra tweeted, “In the past, Naveen expelled several ministers on moral grounds after allegations were levelled against them. But, the government is maintaining a staunch silence in Mamita’s case when Minister of State for Home Dibya Shankar Mishra has been accused of patronising the prime accused.”
“Where is that CM?” he questioned while attending the saffron party joining event of former Biju Janata Dal (BJD) minister and four-time MLA Sanjeeb Kumar Sahoo.
He said the morals and ethics, which the CM once stood for have been given a go-by when his ‘favourite’ minister is in the dock.
“You possess the arrogance of Ravan and Duryodhan. It will sink your ship,” said Dharmendra.
The Union Minister alleged that the family was pressurised to move the Orissa High Court. “The deadline for filing the charge sheet has not ended and still a petition has been filed in court to fast track the case,” he said.
