President Murmu said in her statement that she is disappointed and horrified by this incident. She made a strong comment on this and said that now enough is enough. She also told that she is distressed due to the crimes being committed against women. Now Trinamool Congress has reacted to the President’s statement. In fact, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh has issued a statement regarding this. Draupadi Murmu said that the society needs honest, unbiased introspection and needs to ask itself some tough questions. No civilized society can allow such atrocities on daughters and sisters.
Statement by Kunal Ghosh
Regarding this, Kunal Ghosh said, “President Draupadi Murmu’s statement came regarding RG Kar Hospital. She expressed concern about it. On the RG Kar case, we say that all of us, our party, are in favor of justice and the accused should be given the death penalty. But why is the President speaking now? Where was she when all this happened in Unnao, Hathras, Maharashtra, Badlapur, Uttarakhand. Gold medalist Sakshi Malik’s allegation was against BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, where were you then? But now that it has happened in Bengal, it is a social crime. But where were you when it happened in BJP-led states. We respect you. Don’t do this.”
What did Draupadi Murmu say
President of India Draupadi Murmu has also commented on the ongoing protests over the rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College Hospital in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. The President has said that while students, doctors and citizens are protesting in Kolkata, criminals are lurking elsewhere looking for victims. President Draupadi Murmu has said that the reprehensible mindset sees women as lesser human beings, less powerful, less capable, less intelligent. She said that in the 12 years since the Nirbhaya case, countless rapes have been forgotten by society. This amnesia is disgusting. The President said that societies afraid to face history resort to collective amnesia; now the time has come for India to face history. The President said that we must deal with this pathology in a comprehensive manner so that it can be stopped at the very beginning.
