OPINION | Listen to the words of pain of our President

On one hand, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is appealing to all politicians not to play politics with the issue of the gruesome rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata’s R G Kar Hospital, but on Wednesday, she herself named Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he should “not play with fire”. She said, “If you play with fire, Modi babu, the fire will not only engulf Bengal but also spread to Delhi, Assam, Jharkhand and Odisha”. If this is not political jingoism, then what is? A responsible leader like Mamata Banerjee should not make such a remark at a time when her entire state is witnessing upheaval over the gruesome rape-murder incident. Mamata herself is the product of a mass movement. On Wednesday, she demanded that CBI should update what it has done with its probe and she praised Kolkata Police. This is her second mistake. The people of Bengal are angry with the role of Kolkata Police after the gruesome rape-murder incident. How Kolkata Police handled the case after the brutal murder, has caused widespread consternation among students.
