Rebel TMC MPs Seek Extension to Respond to Lok Sabha Disqualification Notices
Twenty rebel Trinamool Congress MPs aligned with the NCPI have requested an additional 15 days to two weeks 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 are scheduled to meet in Kolkata to discuss their response and next steps. The TMC faction criticized the delay, questioning the rebels' party allegiance and intentions.
