In a strong letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, AAP Rajya Sabha MP and Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal, expressed her deep concern over the handling of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case in Kolkata. Maliwal criticised the state government for what she described as "disturbing attempts to cover up" the crime and urged Banerjee to ensure full cooperation with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to secure justice. Maliwal's letter highlighted the political implications of the case, accusing the West Bengal government of politicizing the issue and failing to adequately protect women in the state. She called on Banerjee, the only woman Chief Minister in India, to take a stronger stand against crimes targeting women and children. The letter comes as protests erupt across the country, with citizens expressing their outrage over the incident. Maliwal's appeal to Banerjee emphasised the need for accountability and the importance of setting an example by ensuring that those responsible for such heinous crimes are punished. As India celebrates Independence Day, Maliwal questioned how the nation can truly rejoice when women continue to live in fear of violence. The case has sparked widespread anger, with doctors, nurses, and the general public demanding justice for the victim and accountability from those in power.
