Kolkata: Congress workers and netas on Thursday staged a protest in front of Utkal Bhawan in Kolkata to protest against the harassment of the Bengali-speaking population in Odisha. They organised a rally from the party's state headquarters.
"The identity of Bengalis is being questioned in Odisha. Migrant workers are harassed every day, and they are questioned only because they speak Bengali. The safety of women from Bengal is also threatened. We submitted a memorandum to Odisha govt officials at Utkal Bhawan," Pradesh Congress spokesperson Suman Roychowdhury said.
