As doctors across the country hit the streets in protest after the nation was shaken by the brutal rape and murder of a woman trainee doctor in Kolkata on August 9, National Commission for Women (NCW) chief Rekha Sharma on Saturday attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming she is ‘hiding’ something.
“It does not seem that this is the doing of one person, there are more people involved, whom Mamata Banerjee wants to save”, the NCW chairman was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
“Now the case is with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), after a full investigation it will be known what she is trying to hide”, she added.
Notably, Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress (TMC) have come under fire, facing one of the worst ever protests.
The TMC chief has painted herself into a corner with mis-steps in the Kolkata rape-murder case and explosive revelations in the case have both shocked the country and made people take to the streets.
From doctors, paramedics to opposition parties and ordinary citizens, the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital horror has everyone’s ire directed at Mamata Banerjee and her party.
The mishandling of the case has fuelled public outrage across India, with people criticising the state government’s response.
