Abhishek Banerjee files 20 petitions seeking the disqualification of rebel MPs after meeting the Speaker, according to NDTV. The action follows a dispute inside the House over the status of the breakaway legislators. The rebel MPs claim that they have merged with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) and argue that they should be recognised as a separate group in the House. Banerjee’s filing indicates that he contests the rebel MPs’ request for recognition under the NCPI umbrella and instead pursues formal disqualification proceedings. The reports indicate the move is directly linked to the rebel MPs’ stated decision to merge and the political recognition they are seeking within parliamentary proceedings. The Speaker’s role is central to the process, given that the filing comes after Banerjee meets the Speaker in the context of the House’s handling of group recognition and member classification. Details such as the specific grounds stated in the petitions are not provided in the available excerpt.
