Another brutal and horrifying rape case in Kolkata has shook the nation. A young girl of South Calcutta Law College was the victim of this crime, and three men have been accused of it. Many ministers have commented on the same, but TMC minister Kalyan Banerjee’s insensitive remark was strongly criticised. Another TMC leader, Mahua Moitra, also bashed the minister, and in response, he has now commented on her marriage with Pinaki Misra. Read here for more.
What Has Happened?
Kalyan Banerjee targeted Mahua Moitra’s personal life to get back at her. He said that Mahua Moitra returned from her ‘honeymoon’ and had initiated a fight with him. Taking a dig at the label of anti-woman, Kalyan Banerjee defended himself and questioned Mahua Moitra’s decision to marry her 65-year-old man. He further accused her of breaking a 40-year-old marriage and called her anti-woman. Kalyan Banerjee also said that the MP was expelled from the Parliament over breach of ethics, and he refused to take any preaching from her, as per the Times of India report.
It all started when Kalyan Banerjee commented on the recent Kolkata rape case and blamed the victim. As per reports, the minister had said that police would not be able to do anything if a friend raped another friend. TMC made an official comment on this and refrained from being associated with it, and strongly condemned the remark.
“Mahua Moitra has returned from her honeymoon after 1 month. She is calling me anti-woman, but she broke a family & married a 65 yr old. She had joined Congress claiming Rahul Gandhi was her friend—that was her only capital.”
