Kolkata (WB), May 19, 2025 (ANI): On being asked if TMC has opted out of the Centre's multi-party diplomatic mission aimed at countering Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, TMC National General Secretary and MP Abhishek Banerjee questioned Centre’s selection of delegation members from different parties for diplomatic mission.Speaking to media, TMC MP said, "I don't know from where you got this information. I am saying this very clearly that whatever decision the Union Govt takes, which aims at combating terrorism to protect the national interest of the country, TMC will stand with the Centre shoulder to shoulder. We do not have a problem with any delegation going...Which member of our party will go in the delegation is the decision of my party. The Centre or the Union Govt cannot decide who will go from which party unilaterally... Which member of TMC, DMK, Congress, AAP and Samajwadi Party will go in the delegation should be decided by the party itself..."
