THIS MASS MOVEMENT

THIS MASS MOVEMENT

This movement must have a construction end---the destruction of mafia-raj. Politicians in the highest echelons of power, when found corrupt and dictatorial to a dangerous degree, must be brought to book like ordinary citizens are. 

The vandalism by thousands of goons at R.G.Kar Medical College and Hospital has to be investigated to fullness and the masterminds brought to book. The tampering of evidence in the crime scene and in its whereabouts, the sudden renovation work in the room adjacent, the delay in filing an FIR, the triplespeak to the parents of the victim by the hospital authorities post her molestation and murder, the hurried cremation and avoidance of a second postmortem, the continued attempts by the ruling dispensation to focus all attention on one criminal alone, the reappointment of the Principal of R.G.Kar within hours as Principal of National Medical College, the highhandedness of the Kolkata Police with regard to largely peaceful protestors, the harassment of onliners for posts in protest, especially two eminent doctors who were summoned to Lalbazar for supposed instigation, the veiled and open threats issued by the Chief Minister to doctors, to the different provinces and to the Prime Minister and his office---all these and so much more must be duly investigated to their thorough completion to bring this mass movement to its eventual successful closure. Finally and most importantly, doctors must be provided with security and safe space for them to be able to discharge their services to their best ability without fear of being beaten up by a disgruntled mob or molested and murdered by goons under the protective care of the powers that be.
