The party has not stopped at expulsion. The APCC has separately instructed the concerned Block Congress Committee to lodge a formal police complaint — an FIR — against Sikdar at the local police station in connection with the incident.

The party stated that it takes a firm stance on respect for cultural icons and public figures, framing the action as a matter of principle rather than just internal discipline.
