The mother of the rape and murder victim from RG Kar Medical College has issued a stern warning to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, stating that while she lost her daughter, the Chief Minister lost her chair. The statement comes amid ongoing political tensions and protests over the case.
Mother's Emotional Outburst
Speaking to reporters, the grieving mother said, "I lost my daughter, but she lost her chair. There will be more tragic outcomes if justice is not delivered." She accused the state government of failing to ensure safety for women and demanded strict action against the culprits.
Political Reactions
The warning has sparked reactions from political parties. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government for its handling of law and order. BJP leaders demanded a thorough investigation and justice for the victim.
The Trinamool Congress, however, dismissed the allegations, calling them politically motivated. State Minister for Women and Child Development said the government is committed to ensuring justice and has taken steps to improve women's safety.
Background of the Case
The victim, a 25-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor, was raped and murdered inside RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The incident triggered widespread protests across West Bengal, with medical students and doctors demanding better security measures. The case is currently under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Protests Continue
Protesters have been holding demonstrations, demanding the resignation of senior police officials and the state health minister. The mother's warning has added fuel to the ongoing agitation, with many calling for a change in the state's political leadership.
The Chief Minister has not yet responded directly to the mother's statement but has assured the public that the government is taking the matter seriously. She has also announced compensation for the victim's family.
