While the Congress party observed two-minute silent prayer meetings across Kalahandi district on Sunday, the BJP organised a rally to press for the dismissal of Minister of State (Home) Dibya Shankar Mishra for his alleged complicity in the case.

The opposition parties, including BJP and Congress, have scaled up attack on Odisha government and are demanding removal of Mishra for his alleged complicity in the Mamita Meher murder case.

Addressing a presser, BJD spokesperson Sasmit Patra alleged that the Opposition parties are trying to defame Odisha and its people by trying to set a national narrative through, what he said, false acquisitions.

Displaying signs of pressure-cooker situation, BJD spokesperson linked Opposition attack on the State government over the Mamita murder case to bringing disrepute to Odisha   

At a presser, State BJP General Secretary Prithviraj Harichandan said that the lady teacher was brutally murdered, her body chopped up in pieces and her body dumped 40 ft below the ground. The prime accused Gobinda Sahu had received undue favours from the Minister of State (Home) Dibya Shankar Mishra and other influential leaders of the ruling BJD, he alleged.

"On the auspicious ocassion of Deepavali, we all lit one more diya in the memory of Mamita. We hope the government to wake from slumber and take discernible action against all those involved in perpertraing the heinous crime of murdering the innocent teacher," said BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra.
