In a fiery statement that has added to the ongoing political discourse, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla has sharply criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's handling of the RG Kar Medical College controversy.

Poonawalla's comments come in the wake of Gandhi's dismissal of questions related to the case, which has captured national attention due to its implications on public conscience. Speaking to reporters, Poonawalla expressed outrage over Gandhi's response, describing it as “shocking beyond imagination” and dismissing the serious issue as a mere “distraction.”

“It is deeply troubling that Rahul Gandhi, when confronted about the RG Kar Medical College case, responds with a dismissive attitude,” Poonawalla said. “This case has shaken the conscience of the nation, and to trivialize it is not just irresponsible but insulting.”

Poonawalla further criticized Gandhi’s selective engagement with political issues, noting that while Gandhi addresses problems in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, he remains conspicuously silent on critical issues in West Bengal. “Rahul Gandhi’s reluctance to address the situation in Bengal, where it is crucial to uphold constitutional values, is evident. His inability to speak against the Trinamool Congress (TMC), a key ally in the INDI alliance, raises serious questions about his commitment to justice,” Poonawalla added.

The RG Kar Medical College case, which has sparked widespread protests, involves serious allegations that have stirred public and political sentiment. Poonawalla’s remarks underscore a broader critique of Gandhi's perceived lack of engagement with pressing issues, suggesting that his approach undermines the gravity of the situation and the voices of those affected.

Poonawalla has called for an apology from Gandhi, asserting that his dismissive remarks not only offend the women involved in the protests but also disrespect the victim and her family. “Rahul Gandhi must apologize for his insensitive comments and address this issue with the seriousness it deserves,” Poonawalla concluded.

As the political temperature rises, the focus remains on how key leaders will navigate this sensitive issue and whether the RG Kar Medical College case will prompt substantive discussions and actions from all political quarters.
