New Delhi: West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar was taken into custody while leading a protest at RG Kar Medical College against the horrific rape and murder of a junior doctor.
During the protest, Sukanta Majumdar stated:
"We have told the TMC's police that as long as we are here, they will not arrest any woman, we will not let any woman be harmed... Atrocities against women must stop. Mamata Banerjee does not need permission for a rally but when the BJP goes to do something then permission is needed, all the rules are only for the BJP... Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal should immediately resign from his post... Such a person cannot be the Kolkata Police Commissioner, he should take responsibility for this incident and resign."
