New Delhi: Amid protests over the rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital, BJP MP Arun Govil said a lot of things are happening in Kolkata and whatever is happening there should not happen.
Speaking to reporters, Arun Govil said: “There are a lot of things happening in Kolkata right now. What is happening there now should not happen… A very strange atmosphere has been created…”
When asked about Mamata Banerjee’s statement in ‘Ram-Bam’, he said, “Mamata Banerjee is a free woman in a free country, so she can say whatever she wants.”
Earlier, Banerjee alleged that the Left was in collusion with the Ram (Bharatiya Janata Party) to create unrest in West Bengal.
“Left and Ram want to create unrest in Bengal and both of them have joined hands to achieve it,” he said, referring to the vandalism at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata.
Meanwhile, doctors and local residents of Mumbai on Monday staged a protest at Azad Maidan amid the ongoing protest over the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata.
One of the protesting doctors urged the government to ensure that every organisation has a safety audit.
“We have requested the government to ensure that all organisations have a safety audit… What is the point if we are not safe even after more than 70 years of independence? Doctors always think of patients first and not their safety. The workplace has to be safe for us,” Dr Prerna Gomes of Jaslok Hospital told ANI.
Earlier on Sunday, the West Bengal governor’s office alerted medical colleges in the state to beef up security and ensure that women doctors and paramedics are provided adequate protection.
“Today Raj Bhavan has contacted the medical colleges in the state and alerted them to step up security and ensure that women doctors and paramedics are provided adequate protection,” Raj Bhavan Media Cell said in a post on X.
Earlier, the CBI team investigating the case conducted a 3D laser mapping of the emergency ward of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the case. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra will hear the case on August 20.
On August 9, a female postgraduate doctor was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty at the RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, triggering nationwide strikes and protests by the medical community.
