The women Trinamul Congress supporters will stage demonstration in every block demanding stringent anti-rape laws. Trinamul Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee, while addressing the TMCP foundation gathering on Mayo Road yesterday had said in view of the present scenario, there should be stringent laws to give capital punishment to the alleged rapists. “This is the only way to stop this heinous crime.
Protest meetings will be held in every block on Saturday between 2 pm and 6 pm with similar demand. “I have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring anti-rape law where the trial and conviction will be done within a stipulated period. This is required in today’s society.”
She had urged the students to counter the fake videos which the BJP is uploading in the social media to create confusion among the people. “It is your responsibility to counter the fake videos which the BJP is deliberately uploading on social media. Do it seriously.”
She also urged the MPs, MLAs, councillors, block presidents and other party functionaries to counter fake videos and fight against the conspirators.
