Congress MP and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has strongly condemned the incident of rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital. In an ex-post, Rahul Gandhi said that instead of providing justice to the victim, efforts are being made to save the accused and that this raises serious questions on the hospital and the local administration.
Rahul Gandhi said, “The whole country is shocked by the gruesome incident of rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata. The way the layers of the cruel and inhuman act against her are being exposed, there is an atmosphere of insecurity among the doctors’ community and women.”
Rahul Gandhi said- ‘I am with the victim’s family’
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said, “This incident has forced us to think that if doctors are not safe in a place like medical college, then how can parents send their daughters outside for studies? Why are even the strict laws made after the Nirbhaya case unsuccessful in preventing such crimes?”
In his post, the Congress MP mentioned the incidents of rape and murder in Hathras, Unnao and Kathua. He said, “Every party, every section will have to hold serious discussions and take concrete measures on the ever-increasing incidents against women from Hathras to Unnao, and from Kathua to Kolkata.” He expressed his condolences to the victim’s family and said that he is with the victim’s family.
