    Sambit Patra held press conference slamming TMC over the rape case

    NEW DELHI: BJP on Saturday took a jab at the TMC government in the wake of the reported gangrape case at the private law college in Kolkata. National spokesperson Sambit Patra, in a press conference, pointed to the reported connection of the main accused to TMC. “In a state where there is a woman Chief Minister, there should be sensitivity towards women, but why is there so much insensitivity and cruelty? The victim has issued a statement herself. If we read it carefully, one thing becomes clear that this entire vicious cycle of gangrape is somewhere state-sponsored. It is a brutal act inspired by a political point of view. Why am I saying this? Because it is related to a college union, the main accused is Manoj Mishra. Manoj Mishra himself has been the secretary of the student wing of TMC. He is a member of TMC,” he said.During the briefing, he also mentioned a formation of a committee made my the party for an investigation. “BJP President JP Nadda has formed a committee, and that committee will visit the spot and investigate. Its members are former Union Ministers Satpal Singh, Meenakshi Lekhi and MPs Biplab Deb and Manan Mishra. This committee will soon visit the spot and submit its report to the National President,” said Patra.Patra further directly called on West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, saying, “We are not asking for clarification from Mamata Banerjee. We are asking her to apologise and resign.”The alleged gang rape occurred on Wednesday evening within the campus of South Calcutta Law College in Kasba. Police arrested three suspects—Monojit Mishra, 31, Zaib Ahmed, 19, and Pramit Mukhopadhyay, 20—within 24 hours. Additionally, another arrest related to the case was made on Saturday.
