West Bengal’s government invited protesting junior doctors for a meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, rejecting their demand for a live telecast but allowing the discussion to be recorded for transparency. The doctors are protesting over the alleged rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College, with the sit-in entering its 34th day. BJP criticized the government's transparency claims, citing past failures in evidence preservation. The doctors demand increased security for female healthcare workers and the suspension of senior officials, including the Kolkata Police Commissioner. The CBI is investigating the case on court orders.
