'Arrest Mamata Banerjee': BJP MP Writes to ED Urging for Probe in RG Kar Horror
As per the report, several hundred are expected to hit the streets of West Bengal on Sunday as various demonstrations, including another 'Reclaim the Night'
New Delhi: A Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) leader Jyotirmay Singh Mahato wrote a letter to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) urging for arrest of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the horrific RG Kar case and to investigate the matter thoroughly.
In a post on X, Mahato said, "I’ve written to the Director of @dir_ed, requesting a thorough investigation and the arrest of @MamataOfficial Mamata Banerjee over the R.G. Kar and Sandip Ghosh health scam. Evidence points to widespread corruption and misuse of power in West Bengal’s health sector. The people deserve justice! #JusticeForRGKar #MamataResign."
TMC MP Jawhar Sircar To Resign from Writes Letter to Mamata With Open Seeking Justice for Abhaya
On Sunday, TMC MP Jawhar Sircar resigned from the party and politics over the negligence of the Bengal government in the Kolkata horror case. The TMC MP has also written an open letter to CM Mamata, turning on her, demanding justice for Abhaya.
Addressed to the Chairperson of the All India Trinamool Congress , Jawhar Sircar has begun the letter by saying that he has decided to ‘resign from Parliament and also from politics altogether’. Sircar alleged that he was ‘heckled by the senior political leaders of the party’ after his public statement that ‘corruption must be tackled by the party and government’.
In his words, “I just cannot accept some things, like corrupt officers (or doctors) getting prime and top postings. No. Believe me, the present spontaneous outpouring of public anger is against this unchecked overbearing attitude of the favoured few and the corrupt. In all my years, I have not seen such angst and total no-confidence against the government, even when it says something correct or factual. I have suffered patiently for a month since the terrible incident at RG Kar Hospital, and was hoping for your direct intervention with the agitating junior doctors, in the old style of Mamata Banerjee . It has not happened…”
Thousands to Hit Streets for 'Reclaim the Night' Protest in Bengal
This comes as outrage over the RG Kar case continues across India. As per the report, several hundred are expected to hit the streets of West Bengal on Sunday as various demonstrations, including another 'Reclaim the Night' protest, are scheduled to be held seeking justice for the 31-year-old trainee doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital a month ago.
Noted people from different fields, including musicians, artists, painters and actors, would join the 'Reclaim the Night' demonstration, which would start at 11 pm "to awaken the ruler", social activist Rimjhim Sinha said.
As part of the demonstration, people would gather at various intersections, crossings and roundabouts. While there will be multiple gatherings from Gol Park to Garia along the SC Mallick Road in south Kolkata, a march has been planned from Sodepur to Shyambazar along the BT Road in the north, one of the organisers said.
