The Trinamool Congress (TMC) issued a whip today to its Lok Sabha members to be present in the House on July 20 when the opposition-sponsored no-confidence motion would be taken up for discussion.
TMC chief national spokesperson Derek O'Brien told PTI that the whip was issued to all 34 party MPs in the Lok Sabha.
"They (the MPs) will participate in the discussion and voting in the Lok Sabha and return to Kolkata," he said.
O'Brien added that the party would observe its annual "Martyr's Day" rally in Kolkata on July 21. This year's rally will be the 25th anniversary of the event.
Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan announced that the House will take up discussion and voting on the no-confidence motion on July 20.
The motion was brought against the Narendra Modi government by the TDP and opposition parties.
