New Delhi [India], August 19 (ANI): Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Brinda Karat on Monday said that the credibility of the Mamata Banerjee government is zero in the rape and murder case of a junior doctor at R G Kar Medical College in Kolkata.
“Mamata Banerjee wants to save herself and wants to hide the role of the accused in the case. If you hear the statements of TMC MPs, they are giving the wrong statements as if they are the doctors themselves and they are not talking anything really about the case. All of this proves that the credibility of the Mamata Banerjee government is zero in this case.” Brinda Karat said.
Speaking with ANI, Karat further commented on the summon of TMC MP Sukhendu Shekar Ray by Kolkata police.
“The Rajya Sabha MP (Sukhendu Shekar Ray) tried to play a sensitive role in this case, and immediately the police summoned him as well.”
Earlier on Sunday, TMC MP Sukhendu Shekar had Ray raised questions about Kolkata Police’s probe into the case.
In a post on X, Sukhendu Sekhar Ray wrote, “CBI must act fairly. Custodial interrogation of the ex-principal and Police Commissioner is a must to know who and why floated the suicide story. Why wall of the hall was demolished, who patronised Roy (Sanjay Roy) to be so powerful, Why sniffer dog used after 3 days? 100s of such questions. Make them speak.”
Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari also criticised the state government for not ensuring the safety of women.
“It is a matter of shame that the state government issues a notification saying that there is no safety for women at night. While bills are passed to reserve seats for women in Parliament and the Assembly, there is talk of women’s empowerment, there is talk of promoting women. At the same time, the state government’s special Alapan Bandopadhyay says that it is not right for women to do duty at night. The biggest irony is that there is no safety for women at night in the state. Further, he will also say that women should not go out of the house even during the day.” Adhikari said.
Earlier on Monday, West Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose said that Bengal has failed its women.
“Bengal is not a place safe for women. Bengal has failed its women. Not the society but the present government has failed its women folk. Bengal should be brought back to its pristine glory where women had a respectable place in society. Women now are scared of ‘Gundas’ this has been created by the government that is insensitive to this issue,” Governor Bose said.
On August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, sparking nationwide strikes and protests by the medical community. (ANI)
