New Delhi [India], August 18 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shehzad Poonawalla on Sunday alleged that Trinamool Congress is involved in “destroying evidence” and criticised the INDIA bloc leaders for their lack of response in the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
“Instead of catching the goons who ransacked RG Kar Medical College, they are cracking down on citizens, doctors, and opponents. The TMC government is involved in destroying the evidence. They talk about saving the Constitution, but Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Vadra, Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Chaturvedi, the leaders of the INDI alliance, all them are missing in action. None of them have a single word to say. The order that was issued to transfer 43 doctors has also been withdrawn and they are seeing this was a routine order. Why are they withdrawing it? It was done to intimidate the doctors,” Shehzad Poonawalla told ANI.
Earlier, on August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, sparking nationwide strikes and protests by the medical community.
On August 14, the protest site and the hospital campus at RG Kar were vandalised by a mob, prompting security personnel to disperse the crowd.
To maintain law and order, Kolkata police have imposed Section 163 around the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital for seven days, effective from August 18.
Amid the ongoing protests, the Kolkata Police imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 144 of the CrPC), around the Medical College and Hospital for seven days, effective from August 18. (ANI)
