Bengal governor meets President, Vice-President amid stir over Kolkata horror
West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose, who arrived in the capital on Monday night, met with President Droupadi Murmu and Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday. His meetings come amid escalating protests over the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
Governor Bose has provided both the President and Vice-President with a detailed account of the tragic incident involving the Kolkata medic. He also briefed them on the widespread protests that have erupted among the medical community in response to the case.
The Governor’s engagements with the President and Vice-President reflect the seriousness with which the central authorities are treating the matter and underscore the importance of a coordinated response to the unfolding events in West Bengal.
The meetings are part of ongoing efforts to address the growing unrest and to seek a comprehensive response to the situation. The violence and subsequent demonstrations have highlighted significant concerns about safety and justice, prompting high-level discussions on how to effectively manage and resolve the crisis.
He is also likely to meet Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President J P Nadda and brief them about the deteriorating law and order situation in the state, under Mamata Banerjee’s rule.
As the Bengal governor is expected to meet the Home Minister, this will further embarrass the embattled TMC government. BJP has mounted a strong protest against the state government over the alleged cover-up and has demanded Mamata’s resignation for failing to provide adequate security to medics.
Earlier on August 15, the Bengal governor visited the hospital, where the ghastly incident took place, and spoke to the agitating junior doctors, assuring them of justice.
“Whatever happened at RG Kar Hospital during the last few days is a blot in the name of humanity. I will not tolerate such things at any cost. The demands of protesting doctors are just that the real culprits should be nabbed and punished. Students are the future of the country. They should be given proper hearing,” the Governor had said.
He also reminded that maintaining law & order is the responsibility of the state government besides giving a call for everyone to be united for the sake of women’s safety.
