Ahluwalia must quit for provocative comments, says TMC

Kolkata: West Bengal’s ruling Trinamul Congress on Wednesday demanded resignation of Darjeeling Lok Sabha MP S.S. Ahluwalia of the BJP for his “instigating” remarks on the Gorkhaland agitation in the hills.

Calling his comments “unconstitutional and trouble- fomenting,” TMC secretary general Partha Chatterjee accused Mr Ahluwalia of hurting the integrity and sovereignty of the country with his statements. Going a step ahead, Mr Chatterjee asked the BJP to suspend its Darjeeling MP forthwith.

“It is highly deplorable the way Ahluwalia is making unconstitutional statements and trying to stoke fire in the Hills. He is making provocative statements and trying to undermine the integrity and sovereignty of India,” Mr Chatterjee alleged.
