New Delhi: Speaker Invites TMC Leader for Meeting on Party Split<\/strong><\/p>\n Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has scheduled a meeting with Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), to discuss the ongoing split within the party. The meeting is set for June 19 at 5 p.m. in Parliament House.<\/p>\n TMC sources have confirmed that the party received an email from the Speaker’s office regarding this meeting. Abhishek will be traveling to Delhi for the discussion.<\/p>\n This development arises from a demand by 20 rebel TMC MPs who wish to be recognized as a separate group after merging with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India. Speaker Birla intends to hear from both factions before making any decisions.<\/p>\n Initially, the Speaker’s office contacted Abhishek on Monday around 2 p.m. to meet him at 4 p.m. However, at that time, Abhishek was being questioned by the Criminal Investigation Department in Kolkata regarding various cases against him. Given the circumstances, Birla’s office rescheduled the meeting for Friday.<\/p>\n On June 10, Abhishek had written to Birla, requesting that no recognition be granted to any separate faction, arguing that the Constitution does not allow the formation of a separate group within an existing political party.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Delhi: Speaker Invites TMC Leader for Meeting on Party Split Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has scheduled a meeting with Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), to discuss the ongoing split within the party.
