Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday said politicising any human tragedy, especially relating to women, is inhuman and this kind of politics would never give any returns.
"Forget that I'm Chief Minister for 19 years or that I am President of Biju Janata Dal.
As a senior Member of this House, I would humbly like to mention something - - politicising any human tragedy especially relating to women is inhuman, " said the Chief Minister in the state Assembly.
The opposition Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have targeted the state government over the mysterious death of a lady village level worker (VLW) in Jajpur district.
They have been raising the issue in the House.
"This kind of politics will never give any returns.
We are a mature democracy.
We represent the four and half crore people of Odisha.
Let us set high standards of political discourse both in the Assembly and outside, " the Chief Minister said.
"Rape, murder, death of women are extremely sad events.
Politicising them, multiplies the trauma and gives a very wrong message to the people at large and young people in particular.
