Three Former TMC MPs from Murshidabad Maintain Neutrality, Engage on Local Issues
Three former Trinamool Congress MPs from Murshidabad—Abu Taher Khan, Khalilur Rahaman, and Yusuf Pathan—have joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India but maintain political neutrality by not formally aligning with the BJP-led NDA. They have avoided NDA parliamentary meetings while engaging selectively on local administrative issues, including a request to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to halt the removal of mosque loudspeakers. The MPs emphasize representing their constituents' interests without committing to broader political alliances.
