Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar resigned from his position on September 8, 2024, protesting the West Bengal government's handling of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College Hospital. In a letter to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Sircar criticized internal party corruption and the government's inadequate response to public outrage. He expressed disappointment over the lack of personal communication with Banerjee and announced his intention to leave politics, urging the party to address corruption and justice issues to prevent communal forces from gaining influence.
