‘Nabanna Abhijan’ rallies demanding resignation of CM Mamata begin in Kolkata, police on alert

KOLKATA: Hundreds of processionists, mainly youths, commenced the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ from two locations across the city on Tuesday afternoon demanding the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the arrest of those responsible for the rape-murder of a doctor in R G Kar hospital.

The rallyists held the CM responsible for failing to ensure the safety and security of women, which they argue led to the RG Kar tragedy that sparked nationwide outrage.

The rally, organised by student platform ‘Chhatrasamaj’ and ‘Sangrami Joutha Mancha’ of state government employees, began from two locations – College Square in north Kolkata and Santragachi in Howrah.

One processionist said, “We will reach Nabanna no matter what. We must get to the state secretariat to demand the resignation of the Chief Minister, whose administration has been trying to shield the perpetrators of this heinous crime and suppress the incident. We want to hear from her.”
