The political debate over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar hospital continued as Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for turning the issue into a political matter. Rijiju alleged that the West Bengal government failed to act on establishing fast-track courts for rape cases despite repeated communications. Banerjee defended her government’s actions, stating that the state ranks third in the number of fast-track courts in India. Amidst the tensions, the West Bengal assembly passed the ‘Aparajita anti-rape Bill’, which seeks capital punishment for rapists and aims to strengthen protection for women and children. The opposition supported the Bill but criticized the government’s handling of the issue.
