TMC Seeks Supreme Court Intervention on Disqualification of 20 Rebel MPs
The Trinamool Congress, led by Abhishek Banerjee, has approached the Supreme Court seeking an urgent decision from Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on the disqualification of 20 rebel MPs who aligned with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India. The plea challenges delays in disqualification proceedings under the anti-defection law. The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for August 25. The rebel MPs have sought recognition of their merger with NCPI, but TMC maintains their actions warrant disqualification.
