After Pulwama Attack, Odisha University Prof Loses Her Job For Speaking Against War On News Channel | Odisha News
Bhubaneswar: A famous American film producer once said, “There are three sides of every story. Your side. My side. And the truth.” The Pulwama attack on February 14 that claimed lives of over 40 CRPF jawans is one such incident that can be viewed from many sides. Assistant professor at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) Madhumita Ray was doing exactly that when she was invited for a prime time debate in an Odia TV channel ‘Kanak News’. However, that cost her her job.
On February 18, professor Madhumita Ray of KIIT university’s School of Rural Management was invited on an Odia news channel for a 10 pm discussion on the Pulwama attack. While the entire nation is seething with anger and wants war with Pakistan over the issue, Ray presented a different side focusing more on how war is never the solution and how army is also exploitative sometimes.
To this, the other participant in the debate retired Indian Army Colonel Purna Chandra Patnaik tagged her anti-national. However, Ray stood by her views and said, “In 70 years, India and Pakistan have fought many wars but there has been no solution. A war to avenge 40 soldiers, will lead to more soldiers dying, weaken the economy and exhaust the country’s resources.”
