The executive committee of the TMC on Wednesday recommended the suspension of former Union finance minister P Chidambaram from the party for floating the TMC Democratic Forum in protest against the party allying with the AIADMK for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

A resolution to this effect was passed at an emergency meeting of the party's executive which met in Madras, K S Alagiri, TMC Political Affairs Committee member, told reporters.

Outside the meeting venue, large number of party supporters shouted slogans demanding Chidambaram's 'removal' from the party.
