TMC MP Jawhar Sircar offers resignation, criticises West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee over RG Kar Hospital row

TMC Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar has offered his resignation to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, criticizing her response to a recent incident at RG Kar Hospital. Sircar expressed disappointment that Banerjee did not intervene with the agitating junior doctors, and he deemed the government's current actions as insufficient and delayed.

TMC leader and Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar on Sunday wrote to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and offered his resignation from the post of MP, criticizing her response to the recent incident of rape and murder of PG doctor at RG Kar Hospital . "I have suffered patiently for a month since the terrible incident at RG Kar Hospital, & was hoping for your direct intervention with the agitating junior doctors, in the old style of Mamata Banerjee. It has not happened & whatever punitive steps that govt is taking now are too little & quite late.

I think normalcy may have been restored in this state much earlier if the caucus of the corrupt doctors was smashed & those guilty of taking improper administrative actions punished immediately after the scandalous incident happened," read his letter.
