Shimla, August 16: The brutal rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College has sparked outrage across the country, with protests being held across the country. Despite the gravity of the crime, there has been a disturbing silence on the part of leaders of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), the ruling party in West Bengal.
BJP national spokesperson Radhika Kheda, while addressing the media, condemned this silence and accused the TMC of trying to cover up the incident. She also criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for failing to hold his alliance partner accountable. “Rahul Gandhi took five days to respond and even then he did not mention the TMC or Mamata Banerjee. Is he afraid to point fingers at his allies despite such a horrific crime?” Kheda questioned.
Kheda highlighted the initial mishandling of the case by the police, who attempted to project the crime as a suicide despite clear evidence of brutality. He raised concerns over the involvement of more than one person as per the post-mortem report and questioned why only one accused has been arrested.
The BJP spokesperson criticized the Mamata Banerjee government’s response to the incident and pointed out the disturbing behaviour of the officials. “Instead of securing the crime scene, the police allowed the mob to enter the hospital and vandalise the very room where the crime took place. This raises serious doubts over the intent of the state government,” Kheda remarked.
Further, Kheda said that the incident is part of a larger pattern of violence against women under the TMC’s rule, citing previous cases that went unpunished. She called for unity against the failure of both the Mamata Banerjee government and the Indi alliance to ensure safety and justice for women.
“This is not just about the women of Bengal; it is about justice for all women of India,” Kheda said. She urged the Indi alliance leaders to break their silence and ensure that victims of such crimes get the justice they deserve. She stressed that the country must unite in demanding accountability and action to prevent such atrocities from occurring again.
