Doctor's rape-murder: BJP announces series of protest programmes

KOLKATA: Stepping up the attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar on Sunday announced a series of programmes to protest against the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at a state-run hospital here over two weeks back.

The programmes will be held across the state between August 28 and September 4, said Majumdar, also a Union minister.

Demanding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s resignation for her alleged failure to address the core issue of women's safety, Majumdar said the party will begin a sit-in at Esplanade area of Kolkata from August 28 while the party's women's wing will lock the gate of the state women’s commission.
