West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee clarified her remarks about "hissing" in the context of the rape and murder of a junior doctor, stating her comments were a reference to a parable by Hindu mystic Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, advising a snake not to bite but to hiss when attacked, meaning protesting against injustice is right. Banerjee denied allegations of instigating her party followers or threatening junior doctors, emphasizing her remarks were aimed at countering "negative politics" of the BJP and Union government, which she alleges are threatening democracy and creating anarchy in West Bengal. She supports the genuine movement of medical fraternity and students.
