Chennai: The Doctors and the Women Wing of the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) political party organised a protest rally in Chennai on Friday against the alleged brutal sexual assault and murder of a trainee lady doctor in the RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
Only Party to protest: Seeman
Senthamizhan Seeman, Chief Coordinator, NTK said that ours is the only Political Party in Tamil Nadu which is protesting against this heinous crime of rape and murder in Kolkata because every other political party in the state are in some kind of alliance with West Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee and her party TMC.
"So they are not opening their mouths. NTK is the only party raising its voice against this murder. The deceased doctor is not from Tamilnadu or she is not our relative but we are struggling for her here because she is the daughter of India", he added.
