Kolkata, July 5
A TMC delegation of two MPs met President Ram Nath Kovind in Delhi today to seek the removal of Tushar Mehta as Solicitor General (SG).
“We have submitted a memorandum to the President regarding a matter of great impropriety concerning the office of SG Tushar Mehta,” TMC MP Mahua Moitra said at a press conference. “We asked for the immediate resignation of the SG on the grounds of gross misconduct,” she said.
In its memorandum, the party claimed that various news reports with photographs and videos suggested that BJP leader and Narada case accused Suvendu Adhikari and Mehta held a one-on-one meeting. — TNS
