Kolkata, 10 January (H.S.): The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has suspended two senior leaders, Dr. Santanu Sen and Arabul Islam, citing allegations of indiscipline. This is the second time Arabul Islam, known as the 'taaza leader' of Bhangar, has faced suspension from the party.

Sources say that the decision was taken on Friday after the party leadership evaluated the allegations against the two leaders. Dr. Santanu Sen, a prominent leader and physician, and Arabul Islam, a panchayat samiti member from Bhangar, have been accused of anti-party activities.

Arabul was previously suspended from the TMC for six years but was reinstated later. Recently, tensions between Arabul Islam and Shaukat Molla, the TMC MLA from Canning West, have surfaced, with occasional public confrontations. The party reportedly disapproved of these internal conflicts, leading to the decision.TMC has indicated that maintaining discipline is a top priority and any act of indiscipline would not be tolerated.-----------------
