TMC Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar on Sunday resigned as MP from the Upper House over the incident of the rape and murder of a post-graduate trainee doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital and criticised CM Mamata Banerjee’s handling of the situation.
Sircar also stated that he had decided to step down from politics.
“I have suffered patiently for a month since the terrible incident at R.G. Kar Hospital and was hoping for your direct intervention with the agitating junior doctors, in the old style of Mamata Banerjee. It has not happened and whatever punitive steps that government is taking now are too little and quite late,” read his letter to Mamata.
“I think normalcy may have been restored in this State much earlier, if the caucus of the corrupt doctors was smashed and those guilty of taking improper administrative actions punished immediately after the scandalous incident happened,” he added.
