Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder:  A senior Trinamool Congress leader was removed from the post of party spokesperson after he raised questions over the earlier complaints against the principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where a trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered last week. Santanu Sen, a prominent party face, alleged on Friday that he was removed from the position of party spokesperson.

Sen further said that he neither criticised the party nor any leader, still, he was removed from the position, informing that he came to know about his removal through the media. The TMC leader, who is also a doctor by profession, expressed unhappiness over the decision, saying that 'it feels bad when leaders from other parties join ours and given respect but a devoted and true soldier of the party has to face this.'

"Through media, I have come to know that I have been removed from the post of party's spokesperson. I would like to say that I have worked as a soldier in all battles of TMC and I continue that way even today. I would like to say two things, whenever I gave a statement as a spokesperson, I neither spoke against the party nor any leader," Santanu Sen said in a video message posted on his X account.

He further intensified his attack on the health department officials, claiming that 'news related to Health Department is not sent accurately to CM and Health Minister Mamata Banerjee.'

"I would say the same thing that I said on the first day, news related to the Health Department is not sent accurately to CM and Health Minister Mamata Banerjee. It feels bad when leaders from other parties join ours or winning candidates from other parties join us and are given respect but a devoted and true soldier of the party has to face this. I was with TMC and will remain with TMC," Santanu added.

The horrific murder of the 31-year-old postgraduate trainee (PGT) doctor ignited nationwide protests with people, especially healthcare workers, taking to the streets against the heinous crime.
