New Delhi [India]: Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Tuesday targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee terming her as the most dangerous politician who wants to stay in power even by selling out the country.
He also criticised Mamata Banerjee over the murder of a woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, stating that she has no emotions and no sensitivity towards women.
“Mamata Banerjee is the most dangerous politician today who wants to stay in power even by selling out the country… She has no emotions, she has no sensitivity towards women,” the Union Minister said.
The brutal rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has sparked widespread protests in West Bengal and across the country. The doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.
The incident has also sparked a war of words between the BJP and the state government, with the BJP demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
On Monday, the Supreme Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a fresh status report by next week in connection with the murder and rape case.
On the same day, the mother of the deceased trainee doctor accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of lying about not offering financial compensation.
“The Chief Minister is lying. My daughter will not return. Would I lie in her name? The Chief Minister told us that we would receive money and suggested that we create something in our daughter’s memory. I responded that I would come to her office to collect the money once my daughter gets justice,” the victim’s mother told.
Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer at the G Kar Medical College and Hospital, has been arrested in connection with the incident.
On September 2, the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Dr Sandip Ghosh, along with three others, over alleged corruption and financial misconduct at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, has been remanded to 8-day police custody. The next hearing of the case will be on September 10
