What did Bengal minister Shashi Panja say?
Bengal Minister Shashi Panja held a press conference on Friday (June 27, 2025), saying that the West Bengal Legislative Assembly had passed the Aparajita Bill (death penalty for the culprits of rape) and it has not been made a law yet, why? Because BJP has stopped it. He further said that we do not want to do politics. If you are serious then support the bill. A woman’s body is not a battleground for your politics. It should be respected.
Targeting the BJP, he said that you have to understand the pain of the victim and respect it. We have to ensure that it gets justice, but there are some parties that call rapists ‘cultured’ and garland them. We do not do this. This is a serious incident and we are very sad from it. Kolkata Police has taken action and there will be a proper investigation. People behind the crime will be punished.
Trinamool Students Council obeyed the accused’s TMC member
Trinakur Bhattacharya, head of Trinamool Students Council (Student Wing), said that the accused should get the harshest punishment. We never said that he (Monojit Mishra) was not associated with the student wing of Trinamool Congress, but he was a junior member. The student wing of Trinamool Congress has no active unit in college.
‘Trinamool Congress student branch with victim’
Bhattacharya said, “He took over a position in 2019, how do we know what he will do in 2025? He was not part of any committee in 2022 or 2023. He is no longer part of any committee, but which party he is from. It is not important. He is not a rapist and he should be punished. It was emphasized that the student branch of Trinamool Congress will stand with the victim.
