Kolkata:
In the wake of gangrape of a student allegedly by members of
Trinamool Congress' students wing, the party's rebel MP Kabir
Suman Saturday blamed "irresponsible comments" by the leadership
including party supremo Mamata Banerjee for the rising instances
of crime in West Bengal.
"I feel the leaders including people like me are responsible for
creating a situation where atrocities against women have become
common. Instead of calling such incidents as fabricated, we must
ponder as to why such things are happening," said Suman.
Suman was referring to attempts by Banerjee, also the state chief
minister, on a few occasions to rubbish the claims of rape by
calling them as "fabricated".
"When a top leader like the chief minister says such a thing it is
bound to embolden the miscreants who are present in all political
parties. There is now a fear psychosis among the masses. People,
especially women, are afraid to wander in the night," said the
acclaimed singer.
He however, refused to blame the Trinamool Congress for the
"deteriorating law and order" in the state but held the leadership
responsible.
"The normal supporters and workers of the party are not
responsible... rather the fault lies with the leaders including
people like me, who blame and accuse the media when barbaric
events like this happens," added Suman.
Earlier Friday, a first year polytechnic student from Burdwan
district had accused several people including members of the
Trinamool Congress Chatra Parishad of gang-raping her.
