The Secretariat began disqualification proceedings after Abhishek Banerjee alleged the MPs left TMC for the Nationalist Citizens Party of India, sources said.
- On Tuesday, August 25, the Lok Sabha Secretariat issued notices to 20 rebel Trinamool Congress MPs, seeking responses within seven days regarding disqualification petitions filed by TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee.
- Banerjee filed petitions alleging the MPs 'voluntarily gave up party membership' by joining the Nationalist Citizens Party of India, while the rebel MPs claim their move constitutes a 'valid merger.'
- The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear Banerjee's plea for an expeditious decision, observing, "It is not a question of issuing notices; it is a question of concluding the proceedings within a time frame."
- Following the notice, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is expected to consider the MPs' responses before deciding on the next course of action under Rule 7.
