Following the statements made by the parents of the deceased doctor in the Kolkata RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-death case, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shehzad Poonawalla has called for the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, asserting that she should step down if she has any morality left.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Poonawalla said, "After the statement from the parents of the deceased doctor in the Kolkata case, if Mamata Banerjee has any morality left, she should resign. The parents` statement makes it clear that Mamata Banerjee`s government is not interested in protecting daughters or seeking justice for them; their priority is to protect the rapists, destroy evidence, suppress those who speak the truth, and conceal the facts."
