'Attempt To Save The Accused...': Congress' Rahul Gandhi Reacts To Kolkata Doctor Rape-murder Case

Amid the ongoing outrage over the Kolkata doctor’s rape and murder case, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government and questioned the ruling TMC for attempting to save the accused instead of providing justice to the victim.

The Congress leader further extended his support to the victim’s family and raised concerns regarding the safety of women in the country. The Opposition leader further demanded justice for the 31-year-old doctor’s family and said that the culprits should be given such a punishment that it is presented as an example in society.

Hitting out at the Bengal government, Rahul Gandhi took to X and wrote, “The entire country is shocked by the gruesome incident of rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata. The way the layers of the cruel and inhuman act against her are being revealed, there is an atmosphere of insecurity among the doctors’ community and women.”

The Congress leader further added that the attempt to save the accused instead of providing justice to the victim raises serious questions on the hospital and the local administration.

“This incident has forced us to think that if doctors are not safe in a place like medical college, then how can parents send their daughters outside for studies? Why are even the strict laws made after the Nirbhaya case unsuccessful in preventing such crimes?” he said, adding, “Every party, every section of the society will have to hold serious discussions and take concrete steps on the continuously increasing incidents against women from Hathras to Unnao, and from Kathua to Kolkata.”

TMC is the most rotten outfit that the India alliance has onboarded. They should immediately get rid of the party even if that means loosing strength in the parliament.

Dean & HOD should be arrested for not keeping policy & procedure in place to take care of women staffs after their work hours...They should have arranged for a drop to her Hostel room or where ever she Didi is not making this as a strong point and arrest these Guys for negligence in their duty leading to trauma.

[chirantanbasu]

Rahul gandhi should come to West Bengal and sit with the agitated students to show his support with them.

[sancharinahahihhhhh]

She should resign. Evidence getting tampered as walls are getting painted where the horrific incident took place. She is not protecting women and did not give justice to women - who gave permission to paint the walls???we want a leader who can stand to give justice to women.

[sriranga]

Take into custody the judge who gave not guilty verdict in Sukanya rape case against Rahul give polygraph test to the judge and also Rahul Gandhi to find out the truth .This case was closed because Congress was in power no body dared to challenge the verdict of the lower court

[muniswamacharyn]

First time Mr. Rahul, LOP spoken out against WB Govt reg Nirbhaya-2 rape n murder! All parties unite as a special case n dethrone Mumthaj from power to retain WB in India!

[nagarajscorer]

What modi has said regarding this deshdrohi British citizen Rahul Gandhi is correct. 100% this human is balak for ever. This Rahul Gandhi wants immediate action if anything happens in India. That too blames modi and his team for everything. Mamta Banerjee is his counterpart in I N.D.I. group. He should get factual report of the incidents from his side, have proof and question. Further, this Rahul Gandhi expects what will happen in near future and gets ready to question. How is it possible. I doubt this anti indian anti hindu is the cause and reason for all such disturbing activities inside india.
