New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has called upon the Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee for a discussion on June 19 regarding the 20 rebel MPs and his stance on the matter, sources said on Wednesday.
This comes amid growing dissension within the TMC following the Assembly elections, as a total of 20 rebel lawmakers of the TMC had on June 14 met with Speaker Om Birla and submitted a letter about the merger of their group with the Tripura-based Nationalist Congress Party of India (NCPI). They also sought a separate seating arrangement in the Lower House of Parliament.
