TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee calls for urgent legal reforms to punish Rapists. TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee urged 7 Days speedy trial against Rapists or they must be given capital punishment or Encountered.
Speaking on an incident of Rape and Murder of Lady doctor in Kolkata RG Kar medical college hospital, Abhishek Banerjee said, “This is a condemnable incident. CM is directly looking into this. Within 24 hours the accused has been arrested.
It’s the law that has held our hands. Such a person shouldn’t be allowed to be part of the society. Now the case will begin, trial will begin
A rapist has no identity if the said person is a police, labourer, carpenter or whatever. The accused is simply a rapist.
I saw many political parties were out in the streets with flags. We should instead bring ordinance or Bill so that speedy justice can be provided in 7 days
The Centre can bring ordinance to increase tenure of ED but no ordinance for speedy justice in case of rape?
BJP leaders who are protesting should bring a Bill to provide punishment to rapists in 7 days and as the opposition job of TMC and Congress is to support the Bill. Why will it take 5-6 years for a trial?
A mother & father lost their daughter. Only they can know the value. It should be the responsibility of Political parties, media judiciary to collectively provide justice to the family
*Had this been Uttar Pradesh – even the body would have gone missing.*
If we don’t change the law, nothing will change. A strict law should be brought for a speedy trial in 7 days. Why will be keeping that accused in jail for 5-6 years and invest so much money during their trial?
Why can Centre not bring that Bill? Circumstantial evidence should be considered if it is against the accused should be considered and not a botched-up investigation in 7 days to hang the accused. If the evidences are against you, within 7 days trial should be completed
*What happened in Bilkis Bano case? SC had to intervene*
It’s our collective failure – Hathras, Nirbhaya, Unnaon.
This is my personal opinion,.you may agree or disagree.
I thank the police for acting swiftly within 24 hours and would also add that police who are responsible for security there should be more vigilant.
Why will someone enter late at night in hospital?
Abhishek Banerjee on punishment to rapists:
If circumstantial evidence is against the accused, there should be a mechanism for speedy trial within 7 days. The accused should either be given capital punishment (hanged till death) or encountered. These people don’t deserve a place in society and no point wasting money on them during a trial that continues for years!
BJP, instead of cheap politics, should bring an ordinance for speedy trial in case of such heinous crimes like rape and as opposition we will/ should support it.
If they can increase the tenure ofvthe ED director, why can’t they do this?
