The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is organizing statewide protests this Saturday, demanding the death penalty for the accused in the Kolkata rape-murder case. These protests aim to pressure the government into implementing stricter laws for crimes against women. TMC leader Mamata Banerjee has called for workers from across the state, particularly women, to join the demonstrations.
In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a seven-day dharna, criticizing the state government’s handling of the case. The party accused Mamata Banerjee of adopting a dictatorial attitude toward protesting students and evading responsibility for the brutal crime. The political tension continues to escalate, with both parties engaging in a blame game over the incident.
In a bid to honor the memory of the victim, junior doctors have initiated telemedicine services for underprivileged patients every Saturday. They have also launched a special “Abhaya Clinic” every Sunday, named after the victim, to provide essential healthcare to those in need. This initiative reflects their commitment to ensuring that the tragedy is not forgotten.
Doctors from AIIMS Delhi are staging a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Saturday, led by Dr. Suvrankar Datta, Vice President of the Federation of All India Medical Associations (FAIMA). The protest seeks justice for the RG Kar Medical College victim and calls for greater government action. Medical professionals across the country are rallying together to demand a thorough investigation and punishment for the perpetrators.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken notice of the incident, issuing a notice to the Kolkata Police Commissioner regarding allegations of excessive force used against protesters on August 27. The NHRC has requested a report on the police's actions, urging accountability within two weeks.
Union Women and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi has reiterated her demand for stricter punishment for heinous crimes, such as rape and murder, in response to Mamata Banerjee’s second letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She emphasized that current laws under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) already provide severe penalties for such crimes.
