Trinamool crucial meeting today

KOLKATA JULY 15. The Trinamool Congress will hold its crucial national working committee meeting tomorrow to apparently discuss the issue of its return to the NDA.

``The meeting of our national working committee will be held tomorrow. The agenda is the present political situation,'' the party's policy-making body chief, Mr. Pankaj Banerjee, who is also a member of the working committee, said.

According to party sources, the issue of the Trinamool Congress's return to the NDA is likely to be the focal point of discussions at the meeting.

The party will have to convey its decision on the issue to the Lok Sabha Speaker before it sits for the monsoon session on July 23 so that the seating arrangements of its MPs could be made accordingly.

All the party MPs attending the Trinamool Congress parliamentary party meeting on July 12, authorised the party chief, Ms. Mamata Banerjee, to take a decision on the issue, but did not set any deadline for her. The dissident MP, Mr. Ajit Panja, who was not invited to the meeting, termed it as ``illegal''.
