Trinamool students’ wing members suspended for exploiting RG Kar incident to promote film

The BJP slammed the makers of the short film for insulting the memory of the trainee doctor who was killed, and said the TMC’s complete lack of decency was on full display


Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, the students’ wing of the Trinamool Congress, on Friday (September 27) suspended two senior members for “anti-party activities”.

The two members – Prantik Chakraborty and Rajanya Haldar – made a short film titled Agamani, Tilottomader Galpo (the tale of Tilottamas). Rajanya then uploaded a poster of the film on social media, with the tagline “in the backdrop of RG Kar incident”.

A notice from the state president of the students’ wing Trinankur Bhattacharya said that the two student functionaries had violated the party’s discipline and created a false impression among the public that the TMCP is promoting the film.

The notice said that the suspension would remain in force until the party’s disciplinary committee makes a final decision on the issue.

TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said while everyone has individual liberty in the creative field, the party would take action if anyone tries to exploit any shocking, tragic incident like RG Kar to promote their film.

The director, Prantik Chakraborty, said the film (due for release in the first week of October) had no connection with the RG Kar incident.

The BJP slammed the makers of the short film for insulting the memory of the trainee doctor who was killed in RG Kar Hospital, and said the TMC’s complete lack of decency was on full display. In a post on X, the party said it was a slap on the face of every person demanding accountability in the case, and that the ruling party had no shame, no conscience, and no respect for justice.
