West Bengal Speaker Biman Bandyopadhyay on Monday said he has summoned senior CBI and Enforcement Directorate officers on September 22 to explain why no permission had been taken from the speaker's office before submitting charge sheets against legislators of the state in recent times.

Bandopadhyay said that the speaker's office was not kept in the loop and no permission was taken from it while initiating action against the elected representatives.

"I have sought an explanation from the CBI and ED why the speaker's office is not being informed while framing charge sheets against MLAs and summoning them. A letter has been sent to the city offices of the two central agencies," Biman Bandyopadhyay told news agency PTI.

The two probe agencies recently chargesheet and summoned several MLAs of the ruling Trinamool Congress, including ministers, for their alleged involvement in ponzi scam cases and the Narada sting operation case.
