mr chatterjee became the speaker based on the recomendation of CPI(M) which was supporting the UPA govt. When CPI(M) had withdrawn the support to the govt, mr chatterjee held on to the post of the speaker, indicating that the post was beyond the party... and now the party feels that it doesnt require him as a member any more...
One thing to be noted is tat CPI(M) had expelled him only after allowing him to discharge his duties as the speaker of the house... isnt it... wasnt that because the CPI(M) respected democracy???
I dont think there will be any Bengal lobby and Kerala lobby building up on this issue... cos there is no objections to this decision even from Bengal... CPI(M) is a party where no indvidual is above the party...
afterall if "once an MP is elected as a speaker he ceases to the member of any party.", then what is wrong in the party expelling mr chatterjee...

you are right... but when he has become a constitutional entity, beyond party lines, then what is wrong in the party expelling mr chatterjee...
before the trust vote, the party might have send message to mr chatterjee to get back to the party at a time when it required him on its side... which he didnt want to...
so the party waited till the time he discharges his duties as speaker during the trust vote and the next day expelled him...
it is absolutely internal matter with CPI(M) and nothing wrong in that...

There is nothing wrong in expelling Chatterjee from CPM. However, the Party cannot ask him to step down from his Speaker post as he is beyond the party now. A Party only recommends a candidate for Speaker post. After he is elected, the candidate is beyond the party.
Of course, to understand this would require Communists to put India (their country) ahead of their party.
