Arjuna awardee Mantu Ghosh said that this is a fight of the entire womankind.
Mantu Ghosh said, "Going by what we saw on TV, the incident occurred around this time. So, we chose this time to protest. It has been a month since the incident occurred. We are lighting candles and taking an oath. This is a fight of the entire womankind. The people of West Bengal are demanding justice for her. Nobody can even imagine what has happened here. So, people are fighting for justice, together."
She further said that one month had been over and the CBI submitted an envelope on September 5.
"We feel that many facts are going to emerge today and we will get justice," she added.
A woman activist said, "We are giving our thoughts through a vote on the horrific rape with the trainee doctor victim. According to news reports, the incident happened at 4.10 am so we have gathered at the same time. We are getting good support. We have lit candles and joined an oath-taking ceremony. We are taking the oath that a woman should be safe even if she walks alone at 2 am at midnight and we want security for them."
Earlier, people from the medical fraternity, activists and local citizens on Sunday formed a human chain in Siliguri to protest against the rape and murder case and demand justice for the victim.

TMC Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar on Sunday wrote to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and offered his resignation from the post of MP.
"I have suffered patiently for a month since the terrible incident at RG Kar Hospital, & was hoping for your direct intervention with the agitating junior doctors, in the old style of Mamata Banerjee. It has not happened & whatever punitive steps that govt is taking now are too little & quite late. I think normalcy may have been restored in this state much earlier if the caucus of the corrupt doctors was smashed and those guilty of taking improper administrative actions punished immediately after the scandalous incident happened," reads the letter.
