RG Kar RG Kar: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee reaches junior doctors' dharna site
Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee turned up at the sit-in protest site of junior doctors who are on ceasework demanding justice for RG Kar rape-murder victim.
Speaking to the protesters, Mamata said, "I salute ur protest. I have come up from student movement. I could not sleep all night too as it was raining heavily. I assure you to look into your demand."
"If I find someone guilty I will act and punish," she added.
"I want justice for Tilottama. I will urge the CBI to expedite probe," the Chief Minister added.
West Bengal junior doctors' sit-in protests outside state Health and Family Welfare headquarters- Swasthya Bhavan- entered the fifth day on Saturday after the efforts to hold a discussion between the protesters and the government on the RG Kar rape-murder incident failed on Thursday evening.
The junior doctors refused to enter into a dialogue with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after the government refused to stream the meeting live.
Despite the government asking the protesters to send a 15-member team for the meeting, a 30-member delegation of junior doctors reached the state headquarters Nabanna.
Though the government accepted the 30-member team, it remained firm on denying live streaming but allowed recording of the meeting.
After the doctors refused to participate in the meeting without live streaming, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who claimed she waited for two hours at Nabanna Sabhaghar, accused the protesters of aiming to capture political power and not seeking justice.
