New Delhi, May 21 -- The Trinamool Congress on Tuesday announced that its Lok Sabha MP and national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee will join the multi-party delegation to foreign capitals, a day after it withdrew Yusuf Pathan from the group. According to a TMC functionary, Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju called West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee to "seek her suggestion for a representative from TMC". Mamata Banerjee recommended Abhishek Banerjee's name to Rijiju during the telephone call, the functionary added. The development is a big political victory for the TMC as it has maintained that only the party chief can nominate lawmakers, and also underlines the Narendra Modi government's effort to include all major parties for this important issue. Abhishek Banerjee, who attended the meeting of the external affairs committee on Monday, told reporters, "When it comes to fighting terror, TMC will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Union government. But the Centre can't decide unilaterally who will go from which party. We should also send family members of the victims of terror, we should also send army officers." "This is not the time to play politics. TMC will send members if government asks," he added....
