NCW chief Rekha Sharma, who earlier today had ripped into Trinamool, contending that women are not safe in Bengal and calling for President's Rule in the state, got a stinging response from party MP Shashi Panja.
The rape-murder of the young doctor in Kolkata that has unleashed a storm across the nation, is now a full-blown political controversy, with Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress going toe-to-toe with the former chief of the National Women's Commission. Rekha Sharma, who earlier today had ripped into Trinamool, contending that women are not safe in Bengal and calling for President's Rule in the state, got a stinging response from party MP Shashi Panja.
Rekha Sharma, Ms Panja said, "should be the last one to speak on safety of women".
"During her tenure as NCW chief, she was biased to the highest level, maligned Opposition-ruled states and turned a blind eye to crimes committed in BJP-ruled states," the NP said.
