Actor
turned
politician
Chirag
Paswan
criticised
West
Bengal
Chief
Minister
Mamata
Banerjee
protesting
against
her
own,
suggesting
it
highlights
the
TMC
government’s
weakness.
“If
you
take
to
the
streets
as
the
Chief
Minister,
are
you
assuring
the
public
of
justice
or
are
you
creating
an
atmosphere
of
fear
among
them?
This
somewhere
shows
Mamata
Banerjee’s
weakness
as
a
Chief
Minister,
if
the
Chief
Minister
of
a
state
to
the
streets
against
her
own
government,
her
own
administration,
then
it
shows
their
weakness.
This
shows
that
perhaps
the
machinery
of
your
state
is
not
under
your
control
and
that
is
why
there
is
an
atmosphere
of
anarchy
in
a
state
like
Bengal,” Paswan,
who
is
now
a
Union
Minister
told
reporters.

Bharatiya
Janata
Party
leader
Shehzad
Poonawalla
accused
Trinamool
Congress
of
“destroying
evidence”
related
to
the
alleged
rape
and
murder
of
a
trainee
doctor
at
RG
Kar
Medical
College
and
Hospital.
He
also
criticised
leaders
from
the
INDIA
bloc
for
their
silence
on
the
matter.
“Instead
of
catching
the
goons
who
ransacked
RG
Kar
Medical
College,
they
are
cracking
down
on
citizens,
doctors,
and
opponents.
The
TMC
government
is
involved
in
destroying
the
evidence.
They
talk
about
saving
the
Constitution,
but
Rahul
Gandhi,
Priyanka
Vadra,
Mallikarjun
Kharge,
Priyanka
Chaturvedi,
the
leaders
of
the
INDI
alliance,
all
them
are
missing
in
action.
None
of
them
have
a
single
word
to
say.
The
order
that
was
issued
to
transfer
43
doctors
has
also
been
withdrawn
and
they
are
seeing
this
was
a
routine
order.
Why
are
they
withdrawing
it?
It
was
done
to
intimidate
the
doctors,”
Shehzad
Poonawalla
said.

Protests
and
Security
Measures

Earlier
today,
students
and
junior
doctors
continued
their
protests
despite
heavy
rain
in
Kolkata.
Demonstrations
have
spread
across
various
states
including
Telangana,
Tamil
Nadu,
Uttar
Pradesh,
and
Mumbai.
In
response
to
these
events,
the
West
Bengal
Governor’s
office
instructed
medical
colleges
to
enhance
security
measures
and
ensure
adequate
protection
for
women
doctors
and
paramedics.
“Today
Raj
Bhavan
contacted
Medical
Colleges
in
the
State
and
alerted
them
to
beef
up
security
and
ensure
that
women
doctors
and
paramedics
are
provided
adequate
protection,”
Raj
Bhavan
Media
Cell
said
in
a
post
on
X.

Additionally,
football
fans
protested
near
Salt
Lake
Stadium
in
Kolkata
over
the
incident,
leading
to
the
cancellation
of
a
Durand
Cup
match
between
Mohun
Bagan
and
East
Bengal.

Incident

The
protests
were
triggered
by

on
duty
at
