Quick insights
- Case Sparks Fury: Durgapur rape highlights women’s safety failures in India.
- Banerjee’s Blame Game: Her advice against women going out at night is slammed as victim-blaming.
- Father’s Turn around: He apologized to Banerjee but still demands justice amid arrests.
Mamata Banerjee’s advice for women to “not venture out at night” is a glaring case of victim-blaming, sparking outrage across India. Instead of addressing law enforcement failures, it shifts blame onto women, reinforcing a culture that targets survivors rather than predators.
The Father’s Apology and How the Situation Changed
Initially, the victim’s father lashed out at Banerjee for her callous words, but in a dramatic shift, he later apologized, referring to her as a “mother-like figure” while still demanding justice. This turnaround highlights the desperation of a grieving family amid the October 10 attack, where six suspects were arrested. The situation evolved from personal criticism to a broader public outcry, with his plea for a CBI probe amplifying national scrutiny and exposing Banerjee’s hollow responses, turning what was once her defense into a symbol of her government’s incompetence.
Demanding Real Justice: Bengal’s Wake-Up Call
Now, with arrests made and calls for accountability growing, it’s clear Banerjee must face the consequences of her inaction. The father’s emotional demand isn’t just for his daughter—it’s a bold call for systemic change in West Bengal, where women’s safety remains a joke. Banerjee, your “goddess-like” image is shattered; step up with real reforms or resign, because Bengal’s women are no longer waiting—they’re demanding a future free from your excuses.
This case isn’t over—it’s a blunt reminder that words without action are weapons against the vulnerable. Justice must prevail.
