'NCPI recognised by EC': Sudip Bandyopadhyay hits back after opposition's walkout over TMC rebels' presence
Sudip Bandyopadhyay, a leader of the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), defended his party's recognition by the Election Commission after opposition parties staged a walkout during an all-party meeting. The protest was against the invitation extended to NCPI leaders, which the government justified by stating that NCPI had requested recognition. The Lok Sabha Speaker is expected to address seating arrangements and disqualification issues related to the NCPI's MPs.
