After the body of a minor girl was found in a canal in Kultali district of West Bengal, BJP MP Raju Bista, launched a salvo at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, stating that under her the State has become a safe haven for criminals.
"West Bengal has become a safe haven for criminals. West Bengal which was known as the cultural capital of the country is now known as the rape capital," the Darjeeling MP, Bista told ANI. Earlier today, West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party state president Sukanta Mazumdar criticised Mamata Banerjee' administration, saying "women are not safe" Mazumdar's attack on the TMC government came after the BJP launched a protest in Kultali of the South 24 Parganas district, where the incident happened. "It has been proved again that women are not safe under Mamata Banerjee administration," Mazumdar said. Mazumdar further said that he would not inaugurate Durga Puja Pandal as sign of protest against the TMC government. "I have decided to not inaugurate any Puja (Durga puja pandal) this year in protest against this. I will pray before Maa that the public should teach a lesson to this government," he said. Meanwhile, BJP continued to protest outside the Kantapukar morgue, where the body of the minor girl was brought for a postmortem. BJP's Priyanka Tibrewal joining the protest, said, "Today when the body is brought for a postmortem. It is already 5: 30 pm. What is the urgency for post-mortem? They'll again try to cremate the body as soon as possible. We have seen this time and time again." "Also, when the parents urged police to file an FIR, they refused. They have stopped us from going inside. The West Bengal government has a habit of hiding everything," Tibrewal added. Tibrewal further described the incident as 'sad and heinous' and said that police is not allowing her to enter the post-mortem premises, even though she is willing to represent them as a lawyer. "This is a very sad, heinous incident that has happened. The police did not want to register FIR. After speaking top the parents. I want to represent them as an advocate. The police are not allowing me to enter the premises where the postmartem is supposed to be conducted," she said. Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha also protested in the North Kolkata district, demanding justice for the minor girl, who was allegedly raped and killed. (ANI)
