New Delhi, June 14 -- Senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Sunday slammed the rebel Trinamool Congress MPs for announcing a merger with Nationalist Citizens Party (NCPI) in Tripura, calling it "theatre of the absurd."

In a post on X, Sibal said that the rebel MPs can merge with another political party "only if the TMC wished to do so." He further stated that the party should "disqualify them".

"TMC rebels: Will merge with Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP) Indian Democracy has become the "theatre of the absurd" A joke ! The rebels of the TMC legislative party cannot merge with a political party; that can happen only if the TMC wished to do so ! Disqualify them!" he wrote.
