Instead of ensuring accountability and adopting measures to curb sexual violence against women in the state, the woman Chief Minister either blames the victims or dismisses the incidents as a conspiracy against her government.
The United Nation’s mission found that there was a pattern of extreme sexual violence including rape, gang rape and mutilation of corpses. The report indicated there were at least three locations where such heinous acts were witnessed by the victim.
"I will have to first go and verify those (testimonies) and find whether such incidents (referring to sexual violence against Sandeshkhali women by TMC goons) have actually taken place," Rachna Banerjee claimed.
