Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member and former railway minister Mukul Roy was today suspended from the party for six years for anti-party activities.
Party secretary general Partha Chatterjee said, TMC’s disciplinary committee discussed Mr Roy’s attempts to weaken the party and recommended punishment for him to party supremo Mamata Banerjee.
Earlier in the day, Mr Roy tendered his resignation from the party’s working committee. He also told reporters that he would resign from the Upper House of Parliament and give up the primary membership of the party after Durga Puja.
