The Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government on Tuesday tabled the Aparajita Woman and Child (West Bengal Criminal Laws Amendment) Bill, 2024. Law Minister Moloy Ghatak presented the bill.
Meanwhile, all the BJP MLAs are attending the session wearing a black scarf. LoP Suvendu Adhikari said that while the junior doctors are protesting on the road, we are sitting here.
Senior TMC leader and Bengal Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay says "rape and murder are social crimes and this strict law will prove to be very effective." A two-day special session of the Assembly has been summoned on Monday in the wake of the rape-murder of a woman medic at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last month.
