Kolkata Nabanna News: JP Nadda Criticizes Mamata Government Over Lathi Charge on Protesting Students

In Kolkata, BJP President J.P. Nadda has criticized the Mamata Banerjee government in response to the lathi charge on students. Nadda accused the West Bengal government of honoring criminals and rapists, questioning the brutality of the police. He claimed that speaking out about women's safety in Bengal has now become a crime and described Mamata Banerjee's approach as dictatorial. In West Bengal, widespread protests are ongoing over the rape and murder case of a doctor. During yesterday's 'Nabanna Protest,' the West Bengal police resorted to lathi charges to disperse students. In response to this police action, the BJP has called for a 12-hour bandh in Bengal today, which will last until 6 PM. Yesterday, Kolkata police used lathi charges, tear gas, and water cannons to break up the crowd heading towards Nabanna. The demonstrators were protesting the rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and were demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The protests highlight growing frustration over the state's handling of the case and calls for justice for the victim.
