A disqualification petition will be filed within 10 days, TMC sources said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee had met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday to reiterate his demand for a speedy decision on the disqualification petitions submitted by TMC in June. Later addressing the media, Banerjee had expressed concern over the lack of any action on the matter so far and said that he did not receive any satisfactory response.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>\u201cIf the Speaker does not decide on these petitions within the period required by law and applicable judicial directions, I will be compelled to approach the Supreme Court and seek its intervention,\u201d Banerjee said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Banerjee had earlier met Birla on July 27 in Parliament urging him to expedite his decision on pending petitions seeking disqualification of the 20 MPs, elected on TMC symbol, who have aligned with NCPI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Banerjee, a Lok Sabha MP, had also sought revocation of changes made to the seating arrangements of his party\u2019s MPs to allow the rebel members to sit separately. He had submitted separate letters to the speaker on each of his concerns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>In one of the two letters, Banerjee stated, \u201cMore than five weeks have elapsed since filing of the petitions. To date, no notices have been issued, no hearings have been scheduled, and no procedural directions appear to have been passed. Such continued action is a matter of grave concern.\u201d On June 19, a TMC delegation led by Banerjee had submitted the 20 disqualification petitions to Birla.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>He had said the urgency of the matter has been further accentuated by the decision of parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju to invite the members against whom the disqualification petitions are pending, as a separate group, to the all-party meeting held on July 19. \u201cSuch developments underscore the imperative for an expeditious determination of the petitions,\u201d he stated to emphasise his point.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/tmc-gears-up-to-move-the-supreme-court-within-10-days-to-seek-disqualification-of-20-rebel-mps\/articleshow\/133226837.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee had met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday NEW DELHI: The Trinamool Congress is preparing to move the Supreme Court against the 20 rebel Lok Sabha MPs who merged with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India.
