The gang rape of an Odisha medical student in Durgapur, West Bengal, has sparked nationwide outrage. Three accused have been arrested and remanded in police custody. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed concern over the attack but also advised girls not to go out at night, a move she is facing significant criticism for.
The father of the victim of the RG Kar Medical College rape and murder has reacted strongly to Banerjee’s statement. Taking a dig at CM Mamata, the victim said, “She has made a very good point. We will urge her to issue a fatwa that no girl should leave her home from today.”
“She should resign as Chief Minister.”
He said that it would be good. No girl would go out. No incidents would occur. If she cannot do her job, she should resign as Chief Minister. A similar incident has occurred in West Bengal with a girl from Odisha. What message is she sending to that state? It would be better if she issued a fatwa. It would be better if girls did not leave their homes.
Raised questions about law and order
The victim’s father said that the Chief Minister is saying such things. She is not properly monitoring law and order. She is unable to see it. Therefore, she is blaming the victim. We find this behavior very objectionable. This is our advice. She should issue a fatwa prohibiting girls from leaving their homes.
It should be noted that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said, “The rape victim is studying in a private medical college. Who is responsible for this? How did she get out at 12:30 in the night?” Students living in hostels, especially those who have come from outside West Bengal to study, are expected to follow hostel rules. While they have the fundamental right to go wherever they want, they should avoid going out late at night.
The police cannot keep an eye on everyone.
The Chief Minister said that the institution where the victim is a student is also responsible for this incident. She said that private colleges should ensure security within and around their campuses. CM Mamata said, “Police cannot monitor every person’s movements. Officials don’t know who is leaving their homes at night, and they cannot guard every house.”
Questions raised about outrage against crimes
Referring to similar incidents in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha, she questioned the outrage against such crimes in only a few states. She said, “We condemn all such incidents, no matter where they occur. We have seen many such cases in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha. In Bengal, we have a zero-tolerance stance against such crimes. We take them very seriously.”
