BJP MP Saumitra Khan on Thursday called for the resignation of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, commenting on the ongoing Supreme Court hearing concerning the RG Kar Medical College alleged rape and murder case in Kolkata. Khan insisted on the immediate arrest of those involved in the crime.
"Everyone demands that the rapist and murderers be arrested at the earliest," said Khan. He further demanded the arrest of the Kolkata Police Commissioner and the team that informed the victim's family of a suicide. "The Kolkata Police Commissioner should be arrested first and taken into CBI custody. The team which informed the victim's parents of suicide should be arrested," added the BJP MP.
Khan expressed concerns about the Kolkata Police attempting to cover up the case and reiterated his call for Banerjee's resignation. "The way Kolkata Police is trying to cover up the case, we are scared whether this case will go forward. Being a woman, Mamata Banerjee should take responsibility and resign," he stated. Other BJP leaders, including CR Kesavan and Shehzad Poonawalla, echoed these sentiments, questioning Banerjee's leadership amid the crisis.
