During his visit to Raebareli, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi referred to questions about the Kolkata rape-murder case as a "distraction." He emphasized his focus on Dalit rights and promised to address the case in the coming days. "I won't allow any distraction," Gandhi stated. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla criticized Gandhi's remarks, calling them "shocking beyond imagination." Poonawalla accused Gandhi of avoiding questions on West Bengal due to political alliances, saying, "This is an insult to the protesting women and the victim's family." The rape and murder of a postgraduate doctor at RG Kar Medical College has led to nationwide protests.
