KOLKATA: BJP's West Bengal unit will challenge any attempts by the state Assembly Secretariat to move the Supreme Court against the decision of a division bench of the Calcutta High Court striking down the membership of Mukul Roy in the House.

As information surfaced that the state Assembly secretariat had already started consulting legal brains, including the state Advocate General, Kishor Datta, to evaluate possible legal actions against the Calcutta High Court, the BJP's legislative team has also begun its preparation.

Confirming the move, BJP legislator from Kalyani Assembly constituency in Nadia district of West Bengal, Ambika Roy, said that if the state Assembly decides to move the Apex Court against the Calcutta High Court's order in the matter, the BJP will also challenge.

"We are also consulting legal brains in the matter. Our next course of action in the matter will be announced in detail by the Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, " he said.
