Trinamool Congress MP Kabir Suman who had taken offence to party supremo Mamata Banerjee describing him as a "guest in the party" and wanted to resign his Lok Sabha seat, today said that he did not want to hurt her.
"I have no dispute with Mamata Banerjee. I don't want to hurt her," Suman told a Bengali news channel. "I feel differences can be sorted out," the singer-politician said in an apparent softening of stand and hoped that Banerjee would talk to him "in proper perspective".
Suman had earlier said that he had become a "slave of the party" and was "suffocated" and wanted to resign from the Lok Sabha. He had allegedly accused the party of indulging in corruption and not allowing him to work for the poor people of his constituency South 24 Parganas.
Suman had also dared the TC leadership to remove him from the party for his utterances. Trinamool chief Banerjee had, meanwhile, sought to downplay the controversy saying it was a "small affair" and that he was an artiste who was "our guest".
