Cong threatens Patnaik against ‘Constitutional measures’

New Delhi, Aug 28: The Congress today said the Centre has the "Constitutional measures" to protect the people in Orissa and asked Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to act fast in restoring normalcy in the state.

"The Central government is keeping a close watch... Measures of the Constitution are available. If the state government fails to protect the people, it is for the government to examine", chief of Congress' media department M Veerappa Moily told reporters here.

Noting that the situation in the state has assumed serious dimensions, he said "Naveen Patnaik has to act to control law and order. Even the Pope has now reacted to the situation."

Moily alleged the Sangh Parivar and its affiliates were targeting minorities and said it was the duty of the state government to protect them.

Moily also came down heavily on the BJP ministers in the Patnaik government and said they should be sacked for pressuring the chief minister on the issue.

He linked the Kanpur situation with that of Orissa and hinted that such acts have to be checked.

Referring to the alleged involvement of Bajrang Dal activists in making bombs in Kanpur, Moily said, "a day will come when such organisations will have to be banned".
