A section of Trinamool Congress MPs today suggested that the party leadership warn former Railway Minister and party MP Dinesh Trivedi for making anti-party comments.

Trivedi in the past had made remarks which often embarassed the party. Only in March, this year he went on record suggesting that those, caught purportedly accepting bribes on camera in the Narda sting operation, should "sit at home till the time they come out clean".

A senior TMC MP told PTI on condition of anonymity, "There was an informal meeting of our party MPs in New Delhi in which several issues were informally discussed. Some MPs during discussion suggested that the party at least warn Dinesh Trivedi for his comments which have embarrassed the party."
 

TMC MP and party vice-president Mukul Roy, however, said, "There was no official meeting. It was an informal meeting and nothing of this sort has been discussed."

Apart from the unflattering Narada ramark, Trivedi while explaining his absence from the party's poll campaign had alleged that honesty was being punished and dishonesty rewarded in his party.
