The Trinamool Congress dismissed rumors claiming that the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) had suspended its activities in West Bengal for 20 days and instructed its Kolkata office staff to take leave. The party labeled these reports as unfounded and suggested they were aimed at causing confusion.
According to a statement from the Trinamool Congress, the IPAC team in West Bengal continues to work closely with the party, and campaign efforts are progressing as scheduled throughout the state. The party accused these narratives of being a deliberate ploy to divert attention from the prevailing sentiments on the ground.
While the Trinamool Congress released an official statement refuting the claims, I-PAC has not issued any statement on the matter yet. Earlier, it was reported that I-PAC, serving as the strategic agency for the Trinamool Congress since 2020, had instructed its Kolkata office employees to take a 20-day break due to legal reasons.
The email communication from I-PAC management mentioned a temporary halt in operations in West Bengal due to legal concerns and emphasized their cooperation with the legal process, expressing confidence in the judicial system. All team members were advised to take a short leave for the stipulated period, with plans to reassess the situation by May 11 and determine the subsequent course of action.
