According to reports, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee was suspended for a day from the parliamentary committee on Waqf due to unruly conduct. A Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) meeting on the Waqf Bill on Tuesday took a violent turn when Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee injured his hand after smashing a glass water bottle.
The incident took place during a heated argument between Banerjee and BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay. TMC’s Banerjee, who was speaking out of turn, used offensive language, leading to a war of words between both leaders.
In frustration, Banerjee hit the glass water bottle on the table and hurt himself. Banerjee injured his thumb and index finger and had to be given 4 stitches. AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi & AAP’s Sanjay Singh were seen escorting him back to the meeting.
