Lok Sabha Secretariat Issues Notices To 20 Rebel TMC MPs Over Disqualification Pleas Filed By Abhishek Banerjee
The notices give the MPs seven days to respond as the Speaker weighs disqualification petitions under the anti-defection law.
- On Tuesday, the Lok Sabha Secretariat issued notices to 20 rebel Trinamool Congress MPs, demanding responses within seven days regarding disqualification petitions filed by TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee.
- The TMC argues the MPs voluntarily gave up party membership by joining the Tripura-based Nationalist Citizens Party of India , while the rebel camp claims their move constitutes a valid merger.
- Dated August 25, the notices invoke Rule 6 of the Members of Lok Sabha Rules, 1985, following Banerjee's initial petitions filed in June against the group.
- The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear Banerjee's plea for expeditious action, observing, "It is not a question of issuing notices; it is a question of concluding the proceedings within a time frame."
- While their merger request remains under consideration, the 20 MPs have been treated as an NCPI group in Parliament and were allotted separate seats in the House during the recent Monsoon Session.
