Kolkata Doctor Case: TMC MP Jawhar Sircar To Resign From Rajya Sabha Over Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder TMC MP Jawhar Sircar Resigns from Rajya Sabha Over Kolkata Doctor's Rape-Murder In a major political move, TMC MP Jawhar Sircar has announced his resignation from the Rajya Sabha, citing his frustration with the handling of the Kolkata doctor’s rape-murder case. Sircar informed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of his decision on Sunday, criticizing both party corruption and governmental inaction. “I have suffered patiently for a month since the terrible incident at RG 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,” Jawhar Sircar stated in his resignation letter. He further remarked, “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.”
