Lok Sabha Speaker gives 20 rebel TMC MPs till October 8 to respond after SC remark on timely disposal of Abhishek Banerjee's petition

Wait 5 sec.

After receiving Supreme Court instructions, the Lok Sabha Speaker's office has requested responses from 20 rebel MPs. These MPs, who left the Trinamool Congress and joined NCPI, sought additional time to respond. The Supreme Court criticized the delay in handling the disqualification petition filed by Abhishek Banerjee. The situation remains unresolved as the Election Commission of India continues to deliberate on the party and symbol dispute.
