End demostrations, focus on Puja festivities: Didi's appeal to protestors over RG Kar Case

 West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has called for an end to the ongoing protests sparked by the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College. Addressing the unrest, Banerjee urged citizens to focus on celebrating Durga Puja and appealed to striking doctors to return to work.

Banerjee stressed that continued protests were disrupting the community’s peace. "It has been a month since the tragic incident. I appeal to everyone to embrace the Durga Puja festivities and bring an end to the demonstrations," she said. Protests, including the ‘Reclaim the Night’ rallies, have seen thousands demanding justice and better safety measures for women in workplaces.

Recently, the social media on Monday were filled with fresh images of protests raging from various parts of Kolkata. In North Kolkata, for instance, a rally of rickshaw pullers was undertaken, with posters criticising the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government.

Banerjee also claimed the calls for her resignation were part of a conspiracy by the Centre and the Left parties to destabilize her government, adding, "A Bangladesh-like incident will not happen here, and I will not let it happen either."
