Congress should put a six-year ban on the return of deserters and defectors, a senior leader said today in the wake of exit of former Union Ministers Jayanthi Natarajan and G K Vasan from the party.

Party MP V Hanumantha Rao, a known loyalist of the Gandhi family, told reporters that Congress must take the issue very seriously.

"If anybody attacks Congress and leaves the party, at least for six years he or she should not be allowed to come back," he added.

The Congress had seen several leaders quitting whenever it has fallen on bad days but many of them were quick to come back as soon as the party regained power.
