A string of suspensions in the youth wing of Trinamool Congress has once again brought focus on the leadership debate in the party and calling for a larger role for party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. The Trinamool Congress on Friday expelled Monishankar Mandal, vice-president of the party’s professors’ cell West Bengal College and University Professors Association and Pritam Halder, acting president of Trinamool Teachers Association. “This is to inform you all that Shree Bratya Basu, Hon’ble MIC, Education department and the President, Education Cell of Party, has expelled Monishankar Mandal, Pritam Halder and other related persons from all their posts and organisations with immediate effect because of their indisciplined activities,” Trinamool leader Kunal Ghosh said.
