In response to current reviews of violence and atrocities in opposition to ladies in West Bengal’s Sandeshkhali, National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma might be visiting the realm right now. Speaking to the media, Sharma mentioned that she needs to fulfill the victims and guarantee her help to them. “Very disturbing news has come from Sandeshkhali…I am going there, and I want them (women) to get justice…I will meet the DG and the local police…I want to meet the women and assure them of my support…I will also be meeting the governor,” mentioned Sharma.
Sexual Assault Allegations Against TMC Leader
The NCW Chairperson’s go to comes at a time when a sequence of allegations of sexual assault has been filed in opposition to a number of native TMC leaders. The opposition BJP and Congress have been elevating the problems alleging inaction by the Bengal authorities led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. For practically a month, Sandeshkhali, a West Bengal village, has been engulfed in a political controversy arising from a number of ladies accusing an area Trinamool Congress official of sexual harassment.
BJP Slams Mamata Banerjee
Amit Malaviya, in control of the BJP’s National Information & Technology Department, took to social media (X) to criticise Chief Minister Banerjee. Referring to Sandeshkhali as Banerjee’s abiding legacy, he wrote, “She used the floor of the West Bengal Assembly to lie and defend a criminal, a rapist like Shahjahan Sheikh, it will go down in the history of Bengal, as the biggest blot. She has not just defiled the institution of Vidhan Sabha but also demeaned the women of Bengal.”
The chief of the opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari raised considerations in regards to the misuse of prohibitory orders beneath Section 144 by the state police on the path of CM Banerjee. The BJP chief wrote on X, “The execution of the order, which is supposed to be a precautionary measure, is being selectively imposed. When the TMC Minister and his entourage visit Sandeshkhali, the Section 144 imposed there suddenly vanishes in thin air.”
Adhikari asserted the necessity for truthful software of the regulation and expressed dissatisfaction with the present scenario. “When the Leader of the Opposition visits with three other MLAs, fully complying with the order, then we are not allowed to step into Sandeshkhali,” he added.
Hearing In Supreme Court
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up the plea demanding a court-monitored CBI or Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe within the Sandeshkhali incident. A plea was filed within the SC by advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava and a bench consisting of Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Augustine George Masih will hear the PIL right now. The Supreme Court, on February 16, granted permission to listen to the plea following an pressing itemizing request made by Advocate Srivastava.
