The father of the deceased trainee doctor from Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College said that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, has not done any work and his family is not satisfied with her role in the case.
The victim’s father on Tuesday also said that they demanded a CBI investigation due to her “unsatisfied role” in the case.
Speaking to ANI, the victim’s father, said, “We are not satisfied with the role of the CM (Mamata Banerjee) in the case; that’s why we went to the CBI. She hasn’t done any work. One of the policemen came to our house, they said we had arrested Sanjay Roy and he would be produced in fast track court and get a death sentence. But the incident that happened with my daughter was not the work of just one person. We have been saying this since starting that persons from the department involved in this.”
Reacting to Mamata Banerjee’s Durga Puja remarks, the victim’s father said, “Maybe she will take people to celebrate, in her capacity but we think no one will celebrate Durga Puja this year. If someone celebrates, they will not be celebrating with happiness. Because all the people of Bengal and the country consider my daughter their daughter.”
On September 9, West Bengal CM Banerjee encouraged people to “return to festivities” as Durga Puja nears and urged junior doctors to resume their duties as soon as possible.
In response, the victim’s mother expressed that this request seemed inhuman to her.
“Durga Puja is celebrated in my house too; my daughter used to handle it herself. But Durga Puja will never be celebrated in my house again. The light in my home is out. How can I ask people to return to the festival?” she said.
She further questioned, “If such an incident had happened in the Chief Minister’s family, would she have said this?”
The victim’s mother also asserted that they would continue their movement until justice is served.
