Kolkata, Feb 5 (NationPress) The mother of the junior woman doctor from the state-run R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, who tragically lost her life due to a horrific incident on the hospital grounds last year, has once again called upon the people of West Bengal to take to the streets in protest on February 9, coinciding with her daughter's birthday.
In a heartfelt video message, the blurred faces of both parents were visible, but the emotional appeal was conveyed entirely by the mother, who was visibly distressed while speaking. She expressed, “My daughter was taken from us on August 9. Her birthday falls on February 9, which is six months after that tragic event. We are still awaiting justice. We will stand united on the streets on February 9. The public has supported us for the past six months. I urge everyone to join us on this day.”
Furthermore, she requested that each person plant a flower sapling on February 9, stating, “My daughter had a great love for flower saplings. I encourage you to plant a sapling at your home or workplace.”
She emphasized that she and her husband are committed to pursuing justice for their daughter, declaring, “We will not back down. We will go to great lengths to ensure justice is served. Our sole aim is to achieve justice for our daughter.”
Recently, the parents have faced backlash from several Trinamool Congress leaders due to their stance against the death penalty for the accused, Sanjay Roy, despite such measures being proposed by both the West Bengal government and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The most outrageous comments came from controversial Trinamool Congress leader and legislator Madan Mitra, who suggested that the parents' true desire might be substantial compensation for their loss.
