Anti-rape law passed in Kolkata; Mamata demands PM, HM’s resignation

by | Sep 3, 2024

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the chief ministers of all states that have “not been able to implement effective legislations to safeguard women”.

Speaking in the assembly after tabling of the Aparajita Woman and Child Bill (West Bengal Criminal Laws and Amendment) Bill 2024, Banerjee said the Bill aims at quick investigation, fast justice delivery and enhanced punishment of the guilty.

“Rape is a curse against humanity and social reforms are required to prevent such crimes,” she said.
