The CPI-M leader Sujan Chakraborty asked why is Roy still holding the PAC chairman’s post when his own party’s lawmakers are claiming that he lacks mental balance. “Is he kept in the position to help in financial corruption through certain exchanges?” he questioned.
The bench noted that there are so many cases where there is delay by the Speaker, and the court is often told to stay away and allow the Speaker to decide.
The bench said a petition filed for Roy's disqualification is pending before the Speaker for more than three months, the maximum period fixed in a judgement of the Supreme Court, for decision thereof.
"We want Roy to get disqualified as soon as possible. We will also mention in the petition to fix the deadline for fast redressal of the issue,” Adhikari said.
“This is absolutely speculation that they are quitting the party. They have joined BJP and shall remain in our party. We have also discussed many things regarding our party’s future programme,” he said.
Mr Roy said that BJP is a vast party and it can accommodate anyone.
The Delhi High Court had on 1 August granted Roy protection from coercive action for 10 days, on a plea by the BJP leader challenging the notices issued to him by the Kolkata Police to appear before it for questioning in the case.
Earlier in February this year, the Calcutta High Court had granted him anticipatory bail in connection with the murder case of Trinamul MLA Satyajit Biswas.
Roy said Miss Banerjee should name the TMC leaders who have been threatened by any central agency.
