Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 26 (ANI): Union Minister and West Bengal state BJP president Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday announced break on protest over the rape and murder of the trainee doctor of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital during Durga Puja celebrations.
However, he said that BJP would continue with the protest after the Durga Puja celebrations until Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is forced to resign.

After the Durga Puja we will again take to the streets. We will do gherao at the Nabanna. BJP will remain on the road until we force the Chief Minister to resign."
Earlier, Former Principal of RG Kar Medical College, Sandip Ghosh and arrested officer-in-charge of Tala police station, Abhijit Mondal were brought to the Presidency Jail from Sealdah Court on Wednesday.
