Trinamool Congress general secretary and Diamond Harbor MP Abhishek Banerjee said on Monday that the Trinamool Congress will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Center in fighting terrorism. He said that the central government cannot unilaterally decide who will go from which party.
Asked whether the Trinamool Congress has separated itself from the multi -party diplomatic mission of the Center to deal with Pakistan -sponsored terrorism, Banerjee said, “I don’t know where you got this information. I am clearly saying that whatever decision the Central Government will take, the purpose of which is to compete with terrorism to protect the national interests of the country, the Trinamul Congress will stand up with the center.”
He further said that he has no problem with the departure of a delegation, the party should decide who will go to the members in the delegation.
He said, “We have no problem with the departure of a delegation … which member of our party will go to the delegation, it is my party’s decision. The central or central government cannot take a unilateral decision on which party will go … TMC, DMK, Congress, AAP and who will go to the Member delegation, this party should decide.”
The TMC leader said that the party is not boycotting the operation vermilion and we have never boycotted it.
Banerjee said, “TMC Operation is not boycotting vermilion. We have never boycotted Operation Sindoor. TMC is the only party that has not politicized the issue. The ruling party including some opposition parties has also tried to politicize it and I condemn it. When it comes, there is no place for politics.”
Trinamool Congress leader Sagarika Ghosh said that the foreign policy is completely the field of the government and should take full responsibility of our foreign relations.
Ghosh wrote on X, “AITC officials stand shoulder to shoulder with full solidarity with our armed forces for long -term effective resistance against Pakistan -based terrorism. The nation, flag and our national resolve belongs to the whole of India and every proud citizen.”
Sources in the Trinamool Congress said on Monday that no party MP or leader will participate in the initiative to send multi -party delegation to more than 30 countries by the Government of India. Earlier it was reported that TMC MP from Baharampur Yusuf Pathan may be part of the delegation.
