Dissident Congress leader K.V. Thomas on Friday appeared to question the "speculation" that the Congress had expelled him from the party's primary membership.
He told reporters in Kochi that the All India Congress Committee (AICC) was yet to inform him of any penal action.
Prof. Thomas is an AICC member. Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran had said in Jaipur on Thursday that the party had expelled him. Later, Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan said the KPCC decision had the imprimatur of the AICC.
