'Some Stray Voices Aggravate Pain': VP Dhankar Slams Kapil Sibal Over Kolkata Rape-Murder Case

New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar has lashed out at Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Kapil Sibal saying the rape and murder case of trainee doctor at a state-run hospital in Kolkata has shamed the humanity but ‘some stray voices’ are aggravating the pain.

"When humanity has been shamed, there are some stray voices, voices that cause concern. They only aggravate our excruciating pain. To put it mildly, they are adding salt to our injured conscience and what do they say, 'it is a symptomatic malaise, a frequent incident’. When it comes from someone who is the Member of Parliament, a senior advocate, then the culpability is of extreme degree. There can be no alibi for such kind of demonising thoughts,” Vice President Dhankar said.

“I call upon such misguided souls to revisit their thoughts and publicly tender apology. This is not an occasion where you should be looking through political prism. This political prism is dangerous one, it kill your objectivity. It calls for searching within," Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar added.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar further said, “Certain NGOs who are on road for drop of an incident, drop of a hat, but they are in silence mode. We have to question them. Their silence is much worse than the culpable act of perpetrators of this heinous crime that happened on August 9 2024. Those who seek to play politics and brownie points, keep on writing letters to one another, are not responding to the call of their conscious.”
