Taking observe of the rising resentment within the social gathering in opposition to Sircar, Trinamool Congress mentioned its disciplinary committee will look into the complaints.
Sircar, nevertheless, declined to touch upon the difficulty when contacted.

The social gathering ought to instantly provoke disciplinary motion in opposition to him for violating social gathering self-discipline, he demanded.
“If he (Sircar) is so embarrassed by the developments, then why is he still holding on to his post? He should immediately resign from his post of (Rajya Sabha) MP. He is free to leave the party; it won’t have any impact.”
“People like Jawhar Sircar had no role in TMC’s struggle or the fight in the last Bengal Assembly polls. He has no contribution towards the party,” Roy mentioned.
Sircar had mentioned on Monday {that a} part of TMC is “completely rotten” and that the BJP can’t be fought within the 2024 normal election with such components.
The former Prasar Bharati CEO, who was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Bengal a 12 months in the past on a TMC ticket, had lately mentioned his family and friends had requested him to give up politics after social gathering leaders Partha Chatterjee and Anubrata Mondal had been arrested by central investigating companies in reference to the alleged instructor recruitment and cattle smuggling scandals respectively.
“The party does not need selfish and opportunist people. Jawhar Sircar should immediately resign as MP. He behaves like he is the only one with public stature, and we don’t have any. I will request the party leadership to take disciplinary action against him immediately,” he mentioned.
TMC spokesperson Biswajit Deb mentioned bureaucrats like Sircar run after energy.
“That is their basic nature. Mr Sircar # please show us an instance where you have done good to common people during your service tenure and thereafter@ MP. Quit asap to allow any sincere party worker to represent @RS in your place,” he tweeted.
TMC state normal secretary Kunal Ghosh mentioned the social gathering’s disciplinary committee would look into the matter.
“Till then I urge everyone not to make any comments in the public domain,” he mentioned.
Joining the chorus in opposition to Sircar, West Bengal minister Babul Supriyo disapproved of the way in which Sircar commented on restoration of money from the appartments of an affiliate of Chatterjee’s affiliate and the arrest of Mondal.
The Enforcement Directorate and CBI had raided their premises and arrested the 2 and the legislation will take its personal course.
“Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has already taken strict action on the issue,” Supriyo, who’s the state tourism and IT minister, informed reporters on the sideliens of an occasion.
“Jawhar Sircar is a senior person. He knows of the steps taken by TMC after the corruption issue (recovery of cash) recently came to light. I am of the view what he said is entirely his personal opinion. But he has to think whether he should air this in a public forum in such way,” the minister mentioned.
Continuing his criticism of Sircar, he mentioned “If your (Sircar’s) comments embarras the party, if you make loose comments then what is the difference between you, an erudite person, and Dilip Ghosh of BJP ?” he mentioned.
The BJP nationwide vice-president is thought for making controversial feedback and has been cautioned by the social gathering from making any touch upon the CBI.
Supriyo, a former union minister within the Narendra Modi council of ministers, mentioned, “Every big party faces crises. I am not denying that our party is faced with a crisis now. But has not TMC already taken a stand on the matter? We can see attempts to topple democratically elected opposition governments in different states. There is also trial by media which goes on.”
He mentioned although Banerjee has taken strict stand on the developments in TMC and its senior leaders have spoken out, a flawed message about social gathering has been conveyed to society by Sircar’s feedback.
“There might be various kinds of folks in each social gathering and it isn’t potential for any social gathering to be completely 100 per cent stain free just like the washed tulsi (holy) leaf.
“My question is why has there been no arrest of anyone from BJP. Many corrupt people are sitting under the BJP umbrella in different states but why is no action being taken against any of them? The leader of the opposition (in Bengal) Suvendu Adhikari (BJP) had been accused in the Narada scam but he has not been touched. I ask him to face the charges and come clean,” Supriyo mentioned.
Alleging that solely Opposition events leaders are being targetted by the CBI and ED, he mentioned “This raises serious questions about the credibility of the central agencies. It appears that the governments in Maharashtra, Telangana, Delhi and Jharkhand are being targeted with the intention to harass the Opposition parties,” he added.
Sircar had joined TMC final 12 months after social gathering supremo Mamata Banerjee named him as its candidate for the Rajya Sabha by-poll when a seat fell vacant after Dinesh Trivedi resigned.
Trivedi had converted to BJP forward of the Bengal Assembly polls.
