Centre hits back at Mamata. says Bengal govt a failure on women safety measures
August 27, 2024
|The Daily Guardian
Mamata Banerjee's gambit of putting the ball in the court of the Narendra Modi Government over the issues of women's safety failed today as the Union Women and Child Development Ministry issued a sharp reply to the West Bengal Chief Minister highlighting the State's own failings.
On August 22, when the State was convulsed with protests against the rape and murder of a junior doctor at the Government-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the West Bengal Chief Minister had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a tougher legislation against rape. In her letter, the Chief Minister said that it was "horrifying to see that almost 90 cases of rapes occurred daily throughout the country".
Observers say Mamata Banerjee, through her letter, had tried to play down the outrage in West Bengal by highlighting incidents of rape cases across India and thereby indirectly blaming the Central Government.
The Centre replied to Mamata Banerjee's letter through the Women and Child Development Ministry.
