TMC expels 8 leaders, including Firhad Hakim and Aroop Biswas, over ‘Anti-Party Activities’
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Tuesday expelled 8 senior leaders, including Firhad Hakim and Aroop Biswas, citing “anti-party activities” amid escalating internal turmoil within the West Bengal-based party.
According to party sources, the disciplinary action comes in the backdrop of a deepening leadership crisis and widening factional rift, with multiple leaders allegedly engaging in actions viewed as contrary to the party’s official stance.
Both Hakim and Biswas, who have held key administrative and organisational roles in the West Bengal government and TMC structure, are among the most prominent names to face expulsion in the ongoing shake-up.
The development follows weeks of political instability within the party, marked by allegations of dissent, counter-claims of leadership disputes, and competing factional assertions over control of organisational decisions.
Party insiders said the decision is aimed at restoring internal discipline and consolidating authority amid what has been described as one of the most serious internal challenges to the party leadership in recent years.
Further details on the other expelled leaders and potential political repercussions are awaited.
