Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee is facing mounting political and legal pressure amid the deepening crisis within the TMC. While the party battles a major rebellion by 20 Lok Sabha MPs seeking recognition under a new banner, Banerjee was given a two-hour notice by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's office to present his side in the dispute. At the same time, he has spent nearly 19.5 hours being questioned by probe agencies. Banerjee was grilled for over eight hours by the West Bengal CID and around 11 hours by the Enforcement Directorate in separate cases, even as the battle over TMC's future intensifies.
