Kolkata, 20 May Beginning on Wednesday, a five-member team from the governing Trinamool Congress in West Bengal will travel to Jammu & Kashmir to assess the situation after the horrific terror incident at Pahalgam last month and the artillery barrage from Pakistan on the border communities.
One state minister and four Rajya Sabha members will form part of the group. Manas Ranjan Bhunia is the state member in the delegation, while the four MPs are Mamata Bala Thakur, Sagarika Ghose, Nadimul Haque, and Derek O’Brien, the head of the Trinamool in the Rajya Sabha.
On Wednesday, they will arrive in Jammu & Kashmir, where they will remain until May 23. “The delegation’s primary destinations would include Rajouri, Poonch, and Srinagar. According to a senior party official, “They will talk to the common people there and try to get an idea of their living conditions amid the terror attack and Pakistani artillery firing.”
The leader said that the group is traveling to Jammu and Kashmir at the direction of Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal and the party’s leader, who also chose the mission’s five members. According to the leader, the Chief Minister also chose the locations that the group members will visit.
The mission members would provide the chief minister with a thorough report after they return from Jammu & Kashmir.
Nevertheless, none of the group members were prepared to issue an official declaration about the provisional itinerary of their travels. The party has already issued strong directives to all leaders, requesting that they abstain from speaking about the Pahalgam terror assault or Operation Sindoor.
The leaders have been explicitly told that only the Chief Minister may speak on these matters if anything has to be said.
Abhishek Banerjee, MP and party general secretary, was selected by the chief minister earlier in the day to represent the Trinamool in the multi-party delegations on Operation Sindoor. Yusuf Pathan, a former cricket player who is now a politician and the MP for Baharampur, was chosen by the Center to be the Trinamool representative, but Banerjee took his position.
