New Delhi — Reacting to the tragic self-immolation of a student from Odisha’s Balasore, BJP MP Manan Kumar Mishra has condemned the incident as deeply unfortunate while criticizing the opposition for allegedly politicizing the matter.

“This incident is very unfortunate, but it is also very sad that the opposition is doing politics on it,” Mishra said. He added that the police have already initiated action and are actively investigating the reasons behind the student's extreme step.

Mishra further questioned the opposition's silence on similar incidents in other states. “Such incidents happen every day in West Bengal, but the opposition remains silent on these,” he remarked, accusing political rivals of selective outrage based on political convenience.
