Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Santanu Sen has been removed from the post of party spokesperson. Santanu had criticized the principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and the state health department after the rape and murder of a trainee doctor. Shantanu said, “I have come to know through the media that I have been removed from the post of party spokesperson, I would like to say that I have worked like a soldier in all the battles of TMC and even today I am working in the same way.”
He further said that I would like to say two things, whenever I gave a statement as a spokesperson, I neither said anything against the party nor against any leader. I will say the same thing that I said on the first day. News related to the health department is not conveyed to the CM and Health Minister Mamata Banerjee in the right manner.
Shantanu Sen said that it feels bad when leaders of other parties join our party or winning candidates of other parties join us and are given respect, but a dedicated and true soldier of the party has to bear all this. I was with TMC and will remain with TMC.
Earlier on Thursday, Shantanu Sen had said that complaints were being received against the principal of RG Kar Medical College for the last 3 years. Some people are not informing the CM about what is happening in the health department.
Meanwhile, protests by doctors, medical students and political parties intensified following the vandalism at RG Kar Hospital on Wednesday.
