TMC MLA Humayun Kabir issued 'final warning' for 'violating' party discipline
Kolkata, Jun 13 (PTI): The ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal on Friday issued a “last and final warning" to its MLA Humayun Kabir over his controversial comments in the recent past in a section of the media, “violating” party discipline.
This was the third such notice to the TMC MLA of Bharatpur in Murshidabad district.
“Yes, we have issued a notice to Kabir, asking him to either adhere to party discipline or face action. We have told him this is the last and final warning," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay told PTI.
The notice was also signed by state ministers and senior party leaders Aroop Biswas, Firhad Hakim and Chandrima Bhattacharya.
Kabir has triggered a row on several occasions for his comments in the past, including those directed at Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari for the latter’s statements against TMC MLAs belonging to the minority community, and preventing him from entering Murshidabad.
This followed a show-cause notice to Kabir by the TMC Legislature Party in March.
Kabir was recently in the news again for commenting on the controversy over a purported phone conversation between TMC leader Anubrata Mondal and a police officer.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
