– A new student outfit, Paschimbanga Chhatra Samaj, is leading a rally in Kolkata demanding Mamata Banerjee’s resignation over the RG Kar Hospital rape-murder case
– The outfit is unregistered and claims to be apolitical, with demands including justice for the victim, capital punishment for the culprit, and the Chief Minister’s resignation
– Junior doctors leading a separate movement have distanced themselves from the rally, and the Left parties have also decided not to participate
– The ruling Trinamool Congress has alleged that the BJP is behind the rally and planning violence, but the BJP denies involvement and states they support the movement
– The Calcutta High Court refused to prohibit the rally, which is set to march to the state secretariat despite lacking police permission.
