"CM Mamata Banerjee will take action quickly": Supriya Sule on Kolkata doctor rape, murder case
Aug 13, 2024
New Delhi [India], August 13 : Condemning the alleged sexual assault of a second-year PG student of RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) MP Supriya Sule on Tuesday said that she believes that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will initiate quick action and the victim's family will be delivered justice.
"A lot of such incidents happen across the country and we condemn all of them. We believe that Mamata Banerjee will take action quickly and the family must get justice through fast-track court. We couldn't save our daughter from this incident but such incidents must not happen again..." said Supriya Sule.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sudhanshu Trivedi launched a scathing attack and said the way protection has been given to the criminals in the Kolkata incident is more tragic than the incident itself.
"The way protection has been given to the criminals in the Kolkata incident is more tragic than the incident itself. The way (RG Kar's) Principal has been reappointed as a principal of some other college within 24 hours, shows the protection of the Bengal government. It raises suspicions about the investigation done by the Bengal government," said BJP MP Trivedi.
Questioning the Bengal government further, the BJP MP said, "Today, I want to ask why the West Bengal CM has sympathy for that Principal... My straight question to the TMC government is why these many days are being given. Is it for manipulation? We have seen this in the Sandeshkhali incident. Why the investigation is not being transferred to the highest investigating agency in the country (CBI)?... The parties of the INDI alliance are providing crime cover to the mutual criminal elements."
Earlier today, doctors and medical students held a protest at AIIMS Delhi on Tuesday after the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) called for a nationwide shutdown of OPD services from Tuesday in solidarity against the sexual assault and murder of a woman post-graduate trainee (PGT) doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, on August 9.
Notably, IMA has written to Union Minister JP Nadda demanding a detailed inquiry into the conditions enabling the crime as well as the steps to improve the safety of doctors especially women in the workplace.
The post-graduate trainee doctor was found raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.
