Kolkata: Accusing the Trinamool Congress leadership of punishing him "without a trial", Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh Saturday said he will talk to the party regarding his suspension.
"I have been punished without a trial. I think some leaders have taken this action against me in haste to keep me away from the Trinamool workers," the Rajya Sabha member said, immediately after party secretary general Partha Chatterjee announced his suspension with immediate effect on disciplinary grounds.
At a media conference later, Ghosh denied Chatterjee's charge that he has continued to"malign the party", despite being served a show cause notice for the same.
"I am not trying to malign my party. I am trying to say things within the party and I don't want to make any comment against the party publicly. I am party member, a worker, and a soldier. I will talk to the party leadership about my suspension," Ghosh told media persons here.
