Calcutta is in turmoil over the incident of RG Kar Medical College. Doctors there are on strike to protest against the rape and murder of a female doctor. Comedian and Trinamool MLA Kanchan Mallick got into controversy by commenting on them. Along with the common people, Kanchan’s co-artists also threatened to boycott him. This time Trinamool MP and actor Dev said – ‘I don’t know this Kanchan Mallik.’
Deb will speak to reporters on Thursday (September 6). He said, ‘I don’t know this Kanchan Mallik. What Kanchan Mallick said is sad. I did not support the fact that Kalyanda dropped Kanchan Mallick from the car. I called him in my campaign. But there is a world of difference between that Kanchan Mallik and this Kanchan Mallik.’
Apologizing on behalf of Kanchan, Dev said, ‘I don’t know Kanchan Mallick who made this statement. But as he is my colleague and one of my team, I apologize for him. I think we should be more responsible. I, my family want everyone to get justice.’
Earlier last month, a female doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital was raped and murdered. Calcutta has been in turmoil ever since. Along with ordinary people, performers also took to the streets. Kolkata doctors are protesting, going on strike. Throwing a question to the doctors who are on strike, Trinamool MLA Kanchan Mallick said – ‘Will the government take salary and bonus?’ And Kanchan’s co-artists and common people are angry with this. This actor came under fire. Finally, Kanchan Mallick was forced to apologize.
