Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar's son sends legal notice to Mamata, three other TMC leaders

Kolkata. June 13 (UNI) Baidyanath Ghosh Dastidar, the son of Trinamool Congress dissident MP Kajoli Ghosh Dastidar, has sent a legal notice to party chairperson Mamata Banerjee and three other senior leaders accusing them of making "false, defamatory, and misleading" statements about him.
Ghosh Dastidar, a psychiatrist, in the legal notice dispatched by his lawyer, referred to public statements and media interviews in which ",insinuations and representations" have been made suggesting that he sought a ticket from the Barasat Assembly Constituency in the recent elections, "and that the alleged denial of such nomination resulted in his mother (Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar) adopting a dissident political position".
"My client categorically denies these assertions. He states that he neither sought nor desired any nomination for the Barasat Assembly Constituency and had no political ambition in that regard," said the legal notice drafted by lawyer Pooja Shukla.
