TMC asks Supreme Court to speed up speaker's ruling on 20 rebel MPs

Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee has filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking a swift decision from Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla on the disqualification of 20 party rebels.

Abhishek Banerjee, a Lok Sabha member and TMC general secretary, approached the Supreme Court to urge an early ruling from speaker Om Birla regarding the pending disqualification pleas against twenty dissenting TMC MPs. The court has scheduled the matter for a hearing on Tuesday. The move aims to accelerate the parliamentary process that has been delayed.

Why it matters

The case could determine the composition of the Lok Sabha and affect the ruling party's parliamentary strength.
