Reacting to the Kolkata doctor rape-murder case, he writes in a post that the Mamata government's priority was not "Nyay for Beti".

"Mamata Govt priority in RG Kar case was not Nyay for Beti. It was an institutional cover up. There is total no confidence against her as the movement is a people’s movement yet TMC leaders abused the protestors and threatened them," the post read.

BJP national spokesperson raised three questions in the post and also asked why Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka are still silent and they are not visiting the victim’s parent.

Meanwhile, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said that this is Sircar's personal choice and decision and he has every right to take such a step. 

“We have learned that Jawhar Sircar has made his decision. He was one of the finest bureaucrats in the country and a standout from West Bengal. This is his personal choice, decision, and letter, and he has every right to take such a step. We simply want to express that we, too, agree with the essence of his letter and the questions it raises.” Ghosh told reporters in Kolkata.
