Several IIT related protest meetings; political parties make public statements on the issue
May 15th, 2007
Samaja reports on couple of IIT related protest meetings in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar; one is in Cuttack by CPI-M and the other in Bhubaneswar by the association of engineers.
Similarly Telegraph reports that the youth wing of BJD announced to launch a state-wide stir against UPA apathy, especially in regards to the IIT issue.
But it is somewhat funny that the AICC general secretary has been reported in Statesman to say that his party (i.e., Congress) had been pressing for establishment of an IIT in Orissa. It begs the question what he means by “his party.” Why then the Congress MPs did not join the protest by Orissa MPs in the parliament?
