Kolkata: Several rallies and demonstrations will be held here on Sunday to protest the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Hospital. Members of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as well as civil society organisations plan to take to the streets and hold protests in the city and across West Bengal during the day.
