Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 13 (ANI): A pandal has been set up by Risala Youth Association in Telangana’s Hyderbad to show solidarity against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
A visitor, Payal from Bengaluru, said, “Seeing this statue is mind-blowing. This is incredible. It promotes awareness. Not only girls but also the boys should also learn from such incidences.”
Pandal organiser Gopi Yadav said, “We set up pandals in different styles since 30 years. This time it is inspired by the Kolkata rape case. We need to respect women.”
Meanwhile, junior doctors in Kolkata continued their protests on Friday in the Kolkata rape-murder case.
The protest was held near Swasthya Bhawan in the Salt Lake Area of Kolkata city as doctors chanted slogans demanding justice for the victim.
On Thursday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged the protesting doctors to return to work, adding that she has no greed for her CM post but is more concerned about justice for the RG Kar rape-murder victim and treatment for ordinary citizens.
While addressing a press conference, Mamata Banerjee said, “I am ready to resign from the Chief Minister of West Bengal. I am not concerned about the post. I want justice for the victim. I am only concerned about ordinary people getting medical service.”
She also assured that no action would be taken against the protesting doctors.
Mamata Banerjee said, “I tried my best to sit with the junior doctors. I waited three days for them that they should have come and settled their problem. Even when they didn’t accept the verdict of the Supreme Court, I waited three days with my highest officials, including the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DG and my MoS.”
“I am sorry. I apologise to the people of this country and the world who are supporting them (doctors), please give your support. I don’t have any problem. We want justice for the victim. We want justice for the common people. We want justice for the treatment of common people. We want that, as per Supreme Court instruction, they must join their duty. Though, three days passed after the Supreme Court verdict but we are not taking any disciplinary action because sometimes we have to tolerate. It is our duty to tolerate sometimes” the West Bengal chief minister said.
The second-year postgraduate medical student was raped and murdered inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9. (ANI)
