West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's call for the public to focus on Durga Puja celebrations instead of protests over the rape and murder of a Kolkata trainee doctor has sparked outrage. The victim's grieving mother condemned Banerjee's remarks as "insensitive," stating her family would no longer celebrate festivals. She criticized the Chief Minister, questioning if she would have said the same if it had happened to her family. The mother accused Banerjee and her party, the Trinamool Congress, of trying to suppress protests demanding justice for her daughter, stating, “They throttled my daughter to death. Now they are trying to throttle the demand for justice.”
