Bhubaneswar: Condemning the violence that took place in Haryana following the arrest of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the ruling BJD Saturday demanded the resignation of Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar.
“Haryana Chief Minister Khattar is fully responsible for the violence and must step down on moral ground,” BJD spokesman Pratap Keshari Deb said. He also held Khattar responsible for the loss of lives and properties in the violence. However, BJP spokesperson Sajjan Sharma urged the BJD not to politicise the issue.
Meanwhile, BJD President and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik appealed to the people to maintain peace. “Pained by loss of lives in violence in Haryana. I condemn the unlawful acts in strongest possible terms and appeal for restoration of peace,” Patnaik tweeted. PNN
