The West Bengal Assembly has recently passed 'Aparajita' Bill, marking a significant step in the fight against sexual violence. Named in response to the tragic rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical Centre, this legislation is a pioneering move by West Bengal, making it the first state to amend central laws related to sexual offenses. The bill introduces several critical reforms, including stricter penalties for rape, enhanced protection for survivors, and expedited judicial processes to ensure faster justice. It also establishes special fast-track courts dedicated to handling such cases. The West Bengal government, led by Mamata Banerjee, convened a special 2-day session to accelerate the bill's passage in response to widespread protests and public outrage. This initiative aims to address the growing demand for more robust measures against sexual crimes and to provide a stronger legal framework for the protection of women.

Ripun Bora resigned from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), saying that although he admired Mamata Banerjee's leadership and hoped to fight the BJP in Assam through the party, he realized that the people of Assam view TMC as a regional party from Bengal and do not support it. Bora joined TMC in 2022, expecting it to help intensify the fight against BJP. However, he found that continuing with TMC would not be effective because the party is not accepted by the people of Assam. He felt that staying in TMC would be a waste of time and energy, and thus decided to leave in search of a more effective platform to challenge the BJP.
