New Delhi, Aug 16: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday tore into the Mamata Banerjee government alleging a complete failure in the system. The Union Minister's comments come after the Chief Minister accused the "Left and Ram" of staging a conspiracy around the rape and murder of a junior doctor at the RG Kar Medical College.

In a post on X, the Union Minister said, "There has been a complete systemic failure in West Bengal time and again. But the blame lies on 'Bam and Ram'. Absolutely disgusting, shameful and reprehensible statement from Mamata Didi. The day is not far when Mamata Didi will even blame aliens and extraterrestrials for her misrule".

"With appeasement politics as her fulcrum of politics, Mamata Didi still has to take refuge in Lord Ram to cover her abysmal failures. Justice needs to be delivered and perpetrators need to be dealt with the harshest punishment. There can be no room for politics on the horrific rape and murder of the junior doctor. Mamata Didi's attempt to cover up, stifle dissent and shield perpetrators raises serious questions. Expecting the safety of women, speedy trial, justice and impartiality from her is out of the question," he further stated.

Meanwhile, in a major step to protect doctors from violent attacks, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued a notification stating, "In the event of any violence against any healthcare worker while on duty, the head of the institution shall be responsible for filing an institutional FIR within a maximum of six hours of the incident."

On August 9, a junior doctor was found dead inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata. Her family had alleged that she had been raped and murdered. The incident sparked widespread outrage and led to protests within and beyond the medical community.
