Bhubaneswar:<\/strong> BJP\u2019s national vice president Baijayant Jay Panda has kicked up major controversies on the internet for comparing his home state Odisha with India\u2019s neighbouring Pakistan.<\/p>\n

His controversial statement against Odisha police over detention and custodial interrogation of a journalist of his family-owned leading vernacular news channel heated up politics ahead of the forthcoming bypolls in the State.<\/p>\n

Expressing his thoughts over \u2018illegal\u2019 pick up and assault on journalists, the four-time former MP from Odisha termed police action as \u2018fascism\u2019 and compared the process of law in Odisha with Pakistan.Strongly reacting to the tweet, Biju Janata Dal (BJD)\u2019s Rajya Sabha member Dr. Sasmit Patra described his former colleague\u2019s statement as \u2018unfortunate\u2019.<\/p>\n

The BJD MLA Pranab Prakash Das joined the forum against Panda\u2019s remarks on Odisha. In a counter-statement, he came down heavily for comparing the State with Pakistan.Leaving no stone unturned, Lok Sabha member Anubhav Mohanty also slammed the BJP leader for his \u2018illogical\u2019 comparison. He also suggested him to quit Odisha if he finds Pakistan-like atrocities on media in the State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
