Rebel TMC MPs Seek 15-Day Extension to Respond to Lok Sabha Disqualification Notices
Twenty rebel Trinamool Congress MPs aligned with the NCPI have requested an additional 15 days to respond to disqualification notices issued by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla under the anti-defection law. The original deadline was October 8, but their legal team needs more time to prepare a comprehensive reply. The MPs plan to hold an urgent meeting in Kolkata to discuss the notices and decide on their next steps. They maintain that their shift to the NCPI does not warrant disqualification.
