The Bengal Congress has suspended 26 of its leaders after they failed to attend a protest organized at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on November 1.
The Bengal Congress announced on Tuesday that it has suspended 26 of its leaders for not attending a party‑organized protest at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on November 1. The decision was taken by the party’s disciplinary committee after a review of the leaders’ absence from the event.
Party officials said the protest was a key part of the Congress’s campaign to rally support for its stance on national issues, and the leaders’ failure to attend was viewed as a breach of party discipline. The suspended members are expected to appeal the decision in the coming weeks.
The protest at Ramlila Maidan was aimed at drawing attention to the party’s position on the recent policy changes, and the Congress has repeatedly urged its cadres to participate in such public demonstrations.
The suspension underscores the party’s emphasis on unity and active participation among its ranks, especially during high‑profile events in the national capital.
