A West Bengal minister, Firhad Hakim, has accused the parents of a victim at RG Kar hospital of “playing politics.” This accusation follows earlier claims by another Trinamool Congress leader, Kunal Ghoshal. Ghoshal had suggested that the parents were being manipulated by groups looking to damage the state government. These accusations have turned a sensitive family matter into a heated political dispute.
Hakim’s statements further pushed the idea that the parents are not acting on their own. He stated that their actions are part of a bigger plan to criticize Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. This claim comes a day after Ghoshal also said that the parents were being used by people working against the government. The minister emphasized that Chief Minister Banerjee enjoys popular support. He noted she was elected by the people, implying the criticism is unfounded and politically motivated.
The situation at the RG Kar hospital has now become a political battleground. Trinamool Congress leaders are publicly questioning the motives of the victims’ families. This shows how political divisions in the region can affect even personal tragedies. These accusations add another layer to the ongoing tension surrounding the hospital incident.
Hakim also said that the parents were “maligning Mamata Banerjee.” This statement highlights the political angle the situation has taken. Instead of focusing on the incident at the hospital, discussions have shifted to political motives and blame. The controversy shows how personal grievances can quickly become wrapped up in larger political conflicts, with the focus shifting from the initial concern to political agendas.
