"Such incident occurred where there is a woman CM": Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Kolkata doctor's rape-murder

Patna (Bihar) [India], August 15 (ANI): As nationwide anger erupts over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Thursday slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for remaining "silent" over the issue and said that he is "surprised" that such an incident occurred where there is a woman chief minister.
"Such incidents cannot be accepted in any civilized society, no matter which state it is in, under the rule of any government. Strict action should be taken in his matter. I feel sad when such topics are politicized. The way thousands of anti-social elements went to the spot late last night and vandalized it, was it under any conspiracy? Was it to destroy any evidence? Was it to save someone or to implicate someone, these things are a matter of investigation," Paswan told reporters.
"I am surprised that where there is a woman Chief Minister, such an incident happens and she is silent, all her women MPs are silent. This incident is reprehensible and shameful, what all the doctors there are saying should be heard. This is not just a matter related to one area, it is a matter of women's safety on which every government needs to work sensitively," he added.
Earlier today, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that the Left is in connivance with the Ram (the Bharatiya Janata party) to create unrest in West Bengal.
"Left and Ram want to create unrest in Bengal and they both have come together to do this," She said while referring to the vandalism at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday.
On Wednesday night, a mob entered the RG Kar Hospital campus, causing damage to the protest site, vehicles, and public property. Security officials were forced to intervene to disperse the crowd.
On August 9, a post-graduate trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The victim's family has alleged that she was raped and murdered. This incident has triggered a nationwide protest by doctors and medical fraternities. (ANI)
