Who Better Can Represent the Country Than These Bravehearts?

"If you want five members from Trinamul Congress, our party is ready to, but you need to ask us at least. In the standing committee meeting, which I attended, it was not the chairman who chose me but my party that nominated me," said Abhishek.

The Diamond Harbour MP added, "I have said this time and again that when it comes to fighting or combating any kind of terrorism, protecting & safeguarding the sovereignty and safeguarding the national interest, our party will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Union government when it comes to these matters. I am reiterating this again; as for the parliamentary delegation, the Centre cannot decide unilaterally who will be part of the delegation from which party. They have to call for wider deliberations with all political parties, especially those from the opposition camps. If you want five names, Trinamul will nominate five names."
