Kolkata Protests Spur Political Clashes
Union Minister Giriraj Singh compared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, accusing her of intolerance toward opposition. This remark followed Banerjee's controversial statement linking unrest in Bengal to potential disturbances in other states. The comparison comes amid ongoing protests against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital, which have sparked widespread outrage and political clashes. A viral video of an elderly man, Balaram Bose, facing water cannons during these protests has become a symbol of defiance, drawing significant attention and debate. The BJP has used the video to criticize Banerjee's government, while the TMC questions the man's presence at the protest. Meanwhile, the CBI is seeking to conduct polygraph tests on key suspects in the rape-murder case, including a Kolkata Police ASI.
