Leader of the Trinamool Congress party in the Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandopadhyay held a telephonic conversation with Speaker Om Birla on Thursday seeking disqualification of party MPs Sisir Adhikari and Sunil Mondal, who left the Mamata Banerjee-led party and joined the BJP, under anti-defection rules.

He said that he will go through the papers," Mr Bandopadhyay said.
