Rahul Gandhi Says 'System' Killed Odisha Woman, BJP Slams "Cheap Politics" | Read

The Opposition in Odisha has launched a scathing attack on the state BJP government after the death of a college student, who set herself on fire after being sexually harassed by a faculty member. 

Naveen Patnaik, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly and former Chief Minister, said the sequence of events in the chilling case shows it is "nothing less than institutional betrayal - a planned injustice". Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has said the 22-year-old's death is "murder by the BJP system". Congress and seven other parties have called for an Odisha bandh on Thursday to protest against the Balasore incident.
