Calcutta High Court to Hear Rival TMC Student Factions' Foundation Day Pleas
Two rival factions of the Trinamool Congress, led by Mamata Banerjee and Ritabrata Banerjee respectively, have approached the Calcutta High Court seeking permission to hold their Trinamool Chhatra Parishad foundation day programmes at Kolkata's Mayo Road on August 28. The court will decide whether one or both factions can use the venue and may impose conditions on the events. Both groups have applied for the same date, time, and location, reflecting ongoing party divisions after recent elections.
