In the case of rape and murder of a teenager in Nadia district of West Bengal, CM Mamta Banerjee has been surrounded by making an absurd statement. The mother of Nirbhaya, the victim of gang rape and murder in 2012, has reacted to his statement. Nirbhaya’s mother said that if Mamta Banerjee is so insensitive then she has no right to be on the post of CM. He said, ‘He is not eligible for the post of CM. If she makes such a statement about a victim. Nirbhaya’s demand said, ‘If she makes such a statement despite being a woman, then it does not suit her position, on which she is sitting.’
Actually Mamta Banerjee had raised questions on this entire incident itself. Banerjee had said, ‘How do you know if she was raped, was she pregnant, or was it a matter of love affair or was she ill.’ He said that if the couple is in a relationship then how can we stop them, this is not UP where this happens in the name of love jihad. The Chief Minister said that the investigation of this matter has to be handed over to the Child Commission. Mamta Banerjee said that this is a matter of personal freedom. If there is any wrongdoing, then the police will arrest the culprits. One suspect has already been arrested.
Nirbhaya’s mother said that this incident should be properly investigated and the culprits should be punished. He said that such statements serve to encourage such crimes. This affects the victims and encourages the perpetrators. Such leaders are only concerned about their vote bank. The victim’s father from Bengal said, ‘On April 4, my daughter went to the birthday party on the invitation of Samar Gwala’s son. They had dropped my daughter home at 7:30 in the evening. I was not there, my wife told that a woman and two youths had come to drop her home. We don’t know them. All we know is that our daughter Samar went to the birthday party at Gwala’s house.
He said, ‘When my daughter returned from the party, she was bleeding. The next morning his health got very bad so we went to see the doctor. By the time we got back home, he was dead. She was raped by Samar’s son. My daughter and Samar’s son were in a relationship. The victim’s mother said that they had taken my daughter for the birthday party at 4 pm. Samar’s son has raped my daughter. The people who had come to drop him home had threatened us. That’s why we didn’t say anything, but now we demand that they be punished.
