The BJP Mahila Morcha would stage a “massive” demonstration in front of the Governor’s House here on May 7 in protest against the increasing incidents of minor girl rapes and  in the State.

The Morcha took this decision at a meeting held here on Thursday under chairmanship of its president Pravati Parida.

“As many as 17 incidences of minor girl rapes have occurred at different places during the last five days. The number of such  incidents is increasing due to inaction of police. The Chief Minister, who holds the Home Department, is fully responsible,” alleged Parida.

She urged upon women and girls to gather at the Raj Bhawan and join the protest in big numbers.

Among others, Morcha vice-presidents Kananbala Patnaik, Niyati Giri and Prinki Pradhan, general secretaries Pratibha Satpathy and Babita Patra and secretaries Rashmi Dash and Dr Aischarya were present.
