"His comment is condemnable. The party does not approve of it. The party has sought an explanation from him and caution him. The party demanded that he tender an unconditional apology to the people for his comment," TMC general secretary Mukul Roy told PTI.
Earlier, state education minister and senior TMC leader Partha Chatterjee told reporters at the Assembly premises, "Such kind of comment is condemnable. Our party leader is deeply saddened beyond comprehension. The matter came to her notice yesterday. He has been cautioned and an explanation has been sought from him. The party does not support this kind of conduct."
Another senior TMC leader and Panchayat minister Subrata Mukherjee said a decision in this regard would be taken at a meeting of party MPs tomorrow to be presided over by TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee.
She is to preside over a scheduled meeting tomorrow with the party MPs which she had convened last week to chalk out the strategy for the ensuing budget session of Parliament.
Trinamool yesterday demanded an explanation in writing from the party's actor-turned MP within 48 hours for his controversial remarks, which triggered an uproar.
