Partha Chatterjee, who was earlier sacked as a West Bengal cabinet minister after being arrested by the ED over the SSC scam case, has been suspended from the TMC and removed from all party posts
He was the state secretary general, a member of the national working committee and a member of the party’s disciplinary committee.
The move comes hours after the West Bengal government removed Chatterjee, who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a school jobs scam, from the ministry with immediate effect.
“Partha Chatterjee has been removed from TMC along with the post of General Secretary, National Vice President and three other posts. He has been suspended till the investigation is underway. He can come back if proven not guilty” ,said TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee Abhishek Banerjee.
“CM took the decision and the (Partha Chatterjee) minister was removed. The probe into the matter is underway. If anyone commits something wrong then TMC won’t spare him “,TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee added.
There will be zero tolerance for corruption. Investigating agency must complete the probe within the time limit. Even in Sarada case nothing happened, it’s just lingering. There should be a time-bound investigation: TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee said.
