He has submitted letters to the speaker on each of his concerns.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>However, the speaker did not give a clear response to the questions in connection with the rebel MPs, TMC sources claimed after the meeting, which started around 11:15 am and lasted around 20 minutes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>In his first letter, 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=\"15\"\/>He 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 said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>In his other letter, Banerjee said, \u201cPending your decision on disqualification of these (20) MPs and their current status being that of a non-merger with NCPI, it is patently unjust and contrary to established parliamentary practice to alter the seating and division numbers of our MPs based solely on a unilateral request from the renegade group.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/tmcs-abhishek-banerjee-meets-lok-sabha-speaker-om-birla-seeks-early-decision-on-disqualification-of-20-rebel-mps\/articleshow\/132670395.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File photo: TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee &amp;
