Nueva Delhi: On a day when Parliament ended during the first half of the budget session, a MP delegation mostly women from the Trinamool Congress, met with President Druguadi Murmu on Thursday, urging him to issue women and the child of Apartajita (Western Bengal peninal amendment of laws) bill, 2024 – seeking Capital Penalty for Violation Convicts: That was sent to him by the governor of Western Bengal, CV Ananda Bose, five months ago on September 6.
The bill was approved in a special two -day session of the Assembly, shortly after the case of violation and murder of the RG Kar Faculty of Medicine in Kolkata, following the generalized protests of the citizen political parties against the government of Mamata Banerjee, after a case of rape and murder of a practical doctor at the Medical College and RG Kar Medical Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. Even the BJP opposition that protested against the state government, supported the bill in the Chamber.
Thursday’s delegation, directed by the parliamentary leaders of TMC, Sudip Bandopadhyay (Lok Sabha) and Derek O’Brien (Rajya Sabha) included parliamentary women – Pratima Mondal, Sajda Ahmed, Mahua Moitra, Mitali Bag, June Maliah and Sayani Ghosh De Lok Sabha and Sagarika Ghosh, Dola Sen and Sushmita Deb de Rajya Sabha, who said they wanted to get the president’s attention to the bill that has been pending for more than five months.
On September 3, the Bengal Assembly unanimously approved the bill, which seeks capital punish conditional for other perpetrators.
After meeting with President Murmu, said Bandopadhyay, the delegation presented his demands and, in response, assured them to investigate the matter, while talking to the media.
“The bill was unanimously approved by the Western Bengal Assembly, and the governor of Western Bengal reserved the bill for consideration of the president,” said Mondal, a third mandate of Lok Sabha Deputy. She explained that the governor had three options: to give consent to the bill, retain the assent or reserve the bill for presidential consideration, as was done in this case.
“This bill seeks to demand rapid and simplified procedures to handle cases of violation, ensure that justice is not delayed or denied. By implementing clear deadlines for investigation and trial, this bill seeks to strengthen public confidence and strengthen The deterrence against such atrocious crimes, “she”, she, “she,” she, she, she seeks.
Other significant characteristics of the proposed legislation include the completion of investigations in cases of violation within 21 days after the initial report, reduced from the deadline of two months previous and the establishment of a special work group where official women will direct research.
With the elections of the Bengal Assembly scheduled for 2026, it is likely that the bill will become a point of political concentration for the ruling TMC and its main rival BJP in the State. While the legislation will be seen as the TMC government that has acted on the issue of women’s security, if it cannot be implemented, the state government can be criticized for failing on the subject.
