NEW DELHI:
TMC supremo
and West Bengal chief minister
Mamata Banerjee
on Wednesday dedicated the foundation day of her party’s student wing to the young trainee doctor who was brutally raped and murdered at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
In a social media post on X, West Bengal CM said, “Today I dedicate Trinamool Chhatra Parishad Foundation Day to our sister, whom we mourned the tragic loss of at RG Kar Hospital a few days ago.
And please, our heartfelt condolences to the family of the sister who was brutally tortured to death and seeking speedy justice, as well as to all the women of all ages across India who have been subjected to such inhumane acts. Sorry.”
“Students, youth have a great social role. It is the task of student society to give the dream of a new day by keeping the society and culture awake and to inspire everyone around with the bright vows of a new day. My appeal to all of them today, be encouraged in this endeavor, stay committed.
My dear students, stay well, stay healthy, stay committed to a bright future,” she added.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called for a 12-hour strike in West Bengal, from 6 am to 6 pm, to protest against the police action on participants of the march to state secretariat Nabbana on Tuesday over
Kolkata rape-murder
case.
The ruling TMC, however, accused the BJP of fomenting disturbances in the state and urged people not to participate in the strike. The state government, led by chief minister Mamata Banerjee, has vowed to ensure that normal life remains unaffected during the strike.
A postgraduate trainee doctor was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata while on duty last week.
The semi-naked body of the 32-year-old woman was found on August 9 morning in the seminar hall of the government-run hospital in the West Bengal capital.
A civic volunteer has been arrested in connection with the crime.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has since taken over the investigation, conducting polygraph tests on several individuals connected to the case, including the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and several doctors. The Calcutta high court has directed the CBI to submit a progress report on the investigation by September 17.
