The first meeting of the disciplinary committee on the matter was conducted on Monday and was attended by the state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Sovandeb Chattopadhyay and Trinamul Congress's Chief Whip Nirmal Ghosh.

Earlier, a whip was issued on behalf of the party's Chief Whip for all legislators to be present on the floor of the House on the last two days of the Budget session on 19 March and 20 March.

However, over 50 legislators not only remained absent from the House on 20 March, but most of them did not specify any reason to the Chief Whip to justify their absence.
