Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday led a ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ march to the West Bengal state secretariat to mark one year since the RG Kar incident, reported PTI. 

He accused the Mamata Banerjee-led government of trying to suppress the protest through intimidation and by imposing excessive restrictions, even as the administration tightened security to stop agitators from reaching the destination.

Marking the first anniversary of the rape and murder of a woman doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Adhikari and BJP workers observed Raksha Bandhan in a unique way, without distributing sweets, as a sign of their protest, reported PTI.
