RG Kar victim doctor's parents question Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata (West Bengal): The father of the deceased trainee doctor from Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College stated that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, has not taken any meaningful action, and his family is not satisfied with her role in the case.

The victim's father said, "We are not satisfied with the role of the CM (Mamata Banerjee) in the case; that's why we went to the CBI. She hasn't done any work. A policeman came to our house and said they had arrested Sanjay Roy, who will be produced in a fast-track court and will receive a death sentence. But the incident that happened to my daughter was not the work of just one person. We have been saying from the beginning that people from the department were involved in this."

Reacting to Mamata Banerjee's Durga Puja remarks, the victim's father said, "Maybe she will take people to celebrate in her capacity, but we think no one will celebrate Durga Puja this year. If someone does, they will not be celebrating with happiness. The people of Bengal and the country consider my daughter their daughter."

On September 9, West Bengal CM Banerjee encouraged people to "return to festivities" as Durga Puja nears and urged junior doctors to resume their duties as soon as possible.

In response, the victim's mother expressed that this request seemed inhuman to her. "Durga Puja is celebrated in my house too; my daughter used to handle it herself. But Durga Puja will never be celebrated in my house again. The light in my home is out. How can I ask people to return to the festival?" she said.

She further questioned, "If such an incident had happened in the Chief Minister's family, would she have said this?"

The victim's mother also asserted that they would continue their movement until justice is served.

The second-year postgraduate medical student was raped and murdered inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9.
