Senior TMC leader Dinesh Trivedi today suggested that his party MPs purportedly seen accepting money from a fictitious company in a sting operation, should "sit at home till the time they come out clean" from charges levelled against them.
Speaking during a panel discussion, organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here, Trivedi though maintained that party's 'top and bottom', TMC chief Mamata Banerjee and grass-root workers respectively, are "absolutely okay".
"They (the MPs) should, let's say if I were the president of the party, I would have just said you come out clean and tell us what it is. And till time you are clear, you sit at home," Trivedi said when asked if the TMC MPs accused of accepting money be thrown out of party.
The former Union Minister further said that the accused party leaders, comprising MPs and MLAs, should ask for a probe in the matter if they felt they have "not done anything".
The ex-Railway Minister also stated "he cannot vouch for his party, but himself" and stated that his honesty "even the God cannot challenge".
He added that the grass-root of the party "is honest".
Trivedi did not comment on the authenticity of the video clips, saying the matter is subjudice.
