No Recognition For Rebel MPs: Abhishek Banerjee
Trinamool parliamentary party chief Abhishek Banerjee in a letter today request to Loksabha Speaker Om Birla urge that no recognition can be given to the rebel group of party MPs who wish to support the NDA, since it is always the political party and not the Legislature Party that stands supreme.
He Wrote that “Treat the AITC as a single political party represented in the House solely through its duly authorised Leader and Whip, and decline to accord any recognition, status, or facility to any purported separate group or faction of the AITC.”
“The AITC is a single, indivisible political party,” he added. “The legislative Party in the Lok Sabha derives its very existence from and remains an emanation of the political party… No member or set of members can, by their own volition, carve out a parallel group or faction of the same party and claim independent recognition within the House,” the letter read.
