- PRADIP CHATTERJEE

Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Friday afternoon led a massive rally from Moulali to Dorina crossing demanding death penalty for the guilty in the rape and murder of a woman post graduate trainee (PGT) doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Speaking at the rally, Banerjee referring to the BJP and CPI(M) said that deliberate attempts are being made to hide the truth by circulatg fake news on social media. We want the truth to come out, but some quarters are peddling lies to mislead people,” she said. Banerjee held the BJP and CPI(M) responsible for the vandalism that was carried out at RG Kar Medical College late on Wednesday night.

“I salute peoples’ movement but the attack was orchestrated by the CPI(M) and BJP at midnight. A DYFI flag was visible when the mob went on a rampage. There was BJP also as they were carrying our national flag. How could they use the National flag? This is strongly condemnable,” Banerjee said.

Attacking the Left and BJP for vandalism, she said: “It was a conspiracy hatched by Ram (BJP) and Baam (CPI(M)). Their nexus should come out. There has been an attempt to hide the truth. Cyber crime plays a major role now-a-day. Only for the sake of politics, digital platforms are being used. Through artificial intelligence (AI) someone’s voice and image are used to make fake content.”
