West Bengal Minister Udayan Guha Sparks Controversy

West Bengal Minister Udayan Guha has faced backlash for threatening to 'break the fingers' of those criticizing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. His comments follow nationwide protests demanding justice for the victim and accountability from the state government, which has been accused of failing to maintain law and order. The BJP condemned Guha's remarks, labeling them as 'fascism' and reflecting the Trinamool Congress's oppressive tactics. Protests by medical students continue to disrupt healthcare services in West Bengal, now in their eleventh day. Guha has also praised police restraint during recent vandalism at the hospital while drawing controversial parallels between local protests and unrest in Bangladesh. The situation remains tense as the investigation into the crime has been transferred to the CBI, amid ongoing public outrage.
