BJP MP Arun Govil Speaks on Kolkata Doctor’s Tragic Incident and Protests
Patna, Bihar [India] August 19: Amid protests over the rape-murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital, BJP MP Arun Govil expressed concern about the situation in Kolkata. He stated, ‘So many things are happening in Kolkata right now. Whatever is happening there right now shouldn’t happen…it has become a very weird atmosphere.’
When asked about Mamata Banerjee’s statement on ‘Ram-Bam,’ he said, ‘Mamata Banerjee is a free woman in a free country so she can speak anything of her choice.’
Earlier, Banerjee alleged that the Left and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were working together to create unrest in West Bengal, referring to the vandalism at RG Kar Hospital.
Meanwhile, doctors and locals in Mumbai held a protest at Azad Maidan, demanding safety audits for organizations. Dr. Prerna Gomes from Jaslok Hospital said, ‘We request the government that every organization should have a safety audit…What is the point if we are not safe even after more than 70 years of independence? Doctors always first think of the patients and not their safety. The workplace has to be safe for us.’
On Sunday, the West Bengal Governor’s office alerted medical colleges to increase security and ensure adequate protection for women doctors and paramedics.
The CBI team investigating the case conducted 3D laser mapping of the emergency ward at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the case, with a bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud set to hear it on August 20.
