Abhishek Banerjee urges Lok Sabha Speaker to act on disqualification of 20 TMC rebels
On Monday, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee sent two formal requests to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, pushing for an immediate review of disqualification pleas against 20 party rebels. Banerjee voiced his worry regarding the five-week wait since the initial filings on June 19, arguing that the lack of progress weakens the 10th Schedule of the Constitution. The dissident group has stated they merged with the NCPI, a party currently supporting the BJP-led NDA.
