BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad Criticizes West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Over Trainee Doctor’s Tragic Case
New Delhi, India – Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday regarding the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. Prasad stated that Banerjee does not have the “right” to remain in her position, emphasizing the gravity of the incident occurring under a woman CM.
Prasad remarked, “In the rule of Mamata Banerjee, a daughter was raped, what can be said about it? This happened under a woman Chief Minister, there can be no greater insult than this. Her government tried its best to stop the investigation. She does not have the right to stay in her position.”
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala police station, on Saturday. Both were presented in the Sealdah court today.
Earlier, CM Mamata Banerjee visited Swasthya Bhawan, the state health department headquarters in Salt Lake, Kolkata, to meet with doctors who are on a sit-in protest. She assured them that she would address their demands and take action against those found guilty. Banerjee said, “I have been a student leader myself, I have also struggled a lot in my life, I understand your struggle. I am not worried about my position. It rained all night yesterday, you were sitting here protesting; I was worried all night…After listening to your demands, I will study them. I do not run the government alone, I will definitely find a solution by studying your demands with senior officials. Whoever is found guilty will definitely be punished. I am asking for some time from you. The state government will not take any action against you (protesting doctors).”
People and doctors have been protesting the brutal rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The victim was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. The incident has sparked a war of words between the BJP and the state government, with the BJP demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
