Governor of West Bengal CV Ananda Bose He arrived in Delhi on Monday evening amid speculation that he might meet the President. Droupadi Murmu and senior leaders.
Mass protests have erupted in West Bengal and a nationwide doctors’ strike has taken place over the rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata and allegations of a botched investigation and cover-up. The governor visited the hospital on Thursday and spoke to the protesting junior doctors, assuring them that justice would be done.
Bose is likely to meet Murmu in Delhi on Tuesday.
Speaking during a Rakhi celebration programme at the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata earlier in the day, where several women doctors and others tied rakhis around her wrists, Bose pledged to support their efforts until the goal of a safer environment for women is achieved.
“In West Bengal, democracy is degenerating. This cannot continue like this,” Bose said. He urged collective action to protect women, saying, “Today, we have to take a pledge to protect our daughters, sisters.” Bose stressed the need for social change, stating, “Our society must become a place where women feel happy and safe. We have failed in our mission towards our sisters. This is the least a civilised society should do.” “My responsibility as the governor is to serve the people. I know the goal is far and the road is long, but the march is on. We will certainly reach our destination. I am with you, I am for you,” Bose said.
