Mithun Chakraborty Joins Protest with Broken Hand in Kolkata
Veteran Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty was recently seen on the streets of Kolkata, participating in a rally despite having a broken hand. The rally was organized in response to the brutal murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Hospital, a shocking incident that has stirred emotions across the city. Mithun, along with hundreds of BJP supporters and former Union Minister Subhash Sarkar, joined the protest to demand justice for the victim.
Mithun Leads the Rally Despite Health Issues
Due to his injury, Mithun couldn’t walk, but he made sure to be part of the protest by riding in the front seat of an open jeep, showing his solidarity with the movement. His presence, even in poor health, has inspired many, with people appreciating his commitment to the cause. Mithun’s message was clear: the protest should not stop until justice is served.
Rally Marks Swami Vivekananda’s Historic Speech Anniversary
This rally was also organized to commemorate the anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s famous speech at the World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago on September 11, 1893. The march began from Swami Vivekananda’s ancestral home on Simla Street in Kolkata and ended at Shyambazar Five Point Crossing. The organizers connected the ideals of Swami Vivekananda with the current struggle, emphasizing the need to stand up against injustice in today’s society.
Protest Highlights Ongoing Issues in Kolkata
The organizers expressed their concern over rising incidents of violence and injustice in Kolkata, highlighting how the recent murder of the doctor at RG Kar Hospital has deeply affected the community. They said, “While Swami Vivekananda awakened the world’s conscience 131 years ago, today people in his own city are grappling with their moral responsibilities.” The rally aimed to remind citizens of Vivekananda’s teachings and inspire them to act against the wrongs in society.
Mithun Chakraborty’s Message: ‘This Protest Should Not Stop’
Addressing reporters, Mithun Chakraborty said, “Bengal has a long history of fighting against oppression. I am happy to see this Bengal awakening once again.” He stressed the importance of continuing the protest and called it a spontaneous mass movement against the ongoing issues in the state. His words resonated with many, as people praised his dedication to standing up for justice despite his health challenges.
TMC Accuses BJP of Politicizing the Incident
However, the rally also sparked controversy, with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) accusing the BJP of politicizing the RG Kar Hospital incident. TMC leader Kunal Ghosh stated, “The BJP is clearly trying to use this incident for political gain. They should focus on what their agencies like the CBI have been doing about such matters.” The political blame game added another layer to the already tense atmosphere surrounding the case.
Mithun Chakraborty’s participation in the rally has certainly brought significant attention to the cause, highlighting the need for justice and pushing the city to confront the issues at hand.
