Rebellion touches 'Begum Aapa's' internal-courtyards !!
TMC MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy kickstarts a modest 'revolution' !!
Kolkata witnessed unprecedented scenes on Sunday when supporters of rival football clubs Mohun Bagan Super Giants and East Bengal gathered outside the Salt Lake Stadium to jointly protest the rape and murder of a trainee doctor.
As arch-rivals on the field became united off it, Trinamool Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy again took aim at his party.
In a post on X, Roy said: “I appeal to all football and sports lovers to protest unitedly against the arbitrary arrests of supporters of Mohunbagan and East Bengal in a peaceful and democratic manner. Jai Mohunbagan! Jai East Bengal!”
Roy’s tweet was not only a hat-tip to the rare sight of supporters of the two clubs coming together and demanding justice for the victim’s family, but also an explicit criticism of the Kolkata Police, who chased and lathi-charged the protesters, and detained several for defying prohibitory orders. With this post, the veteran TMC leader made it clear that he is challenging his own government after raising tough questions about the police investigation.
BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan says, "Why is Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi maintaining a studied silence on this heinous incident in Kolkata?
Why has Sonia Gandhi not condemned the TMC government which is chocking and muzzling voices seeking justice? It is time Sonia Gandhi breaks her silence on one of the darkest chapters in India's democracy after Indira Gandhi's emergency...".
West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose says, "Bengal is not a place safe for women. Bengal has failed its women.
Not the society but the present government has failed its women folk. Bengal should be brought back to its pristine glory where women had a respectable place in society...Women now are scared of 'gundas' this has been created by the government that is insensitive to this issue..."
On the statement of the deceased doctor's parents in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-death incident, he says, "I respect the sentiments of the mother. The law will take its course...".
BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla says, "Today, the question arises of when CM Mamata Banerjee will resign. Instead of it, we are witnessing that whoever is raising their voice against this issue, Mamata Banerjee's government is sending them notice and threatening them...
The police are summoning doctors. When their leaders are raising their voices, they are being summoned. MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray has been summoned by Kolkata Police for seeking investigation...
The government used an institutional and systematic approach to destroy the evidence. Calcutta High Court has already expressed displeasure with the Bengal government over this case. Now Supreme Court has taken a suo moto cognizance in this matter.
Mamata Banerjee has no right to stay as a CM anymore...".
