BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla responded to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's speech, saying, "140 crore Indians want justice for West Bengal's daughter. Mamata Banerjee is focusing on revenge rather than justice. When a CM threatens unrest in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, Northeast, and Odisha, I ask if Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, AAP, or Gaurav Gogoi support her. Is demanding justice causing unrest? Mamata Banerjee insults protesters and doctors by calling their calls for justice unrest. She is making anti-Constitutional statements, and Rahul Gandhi, who carries the Constitution, remains silent on this."
