The Lok Sabha on Wednesday suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee for the remainder of the Monsoon Session following allegations that he misbehaved with women Members of Parliament and used offensive language during proceedings. The action came after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal moved a motion seeking Banerjee's suspension. The proposal was approved by the House through a voice vote, following which Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla directed the TMC leader to leave the House immediately.
Heated Exchange Escalates Into Complaint
The controversy unfolded after the Lok Sabha was adjourned amid opposition protests. Following the adjournment, a verbal altercation reportedly broke out between Kalyan Banerjee and several MPs who were earlier associated with the Trinamool Congress and are now members of the NCPI.
The confrontation allegedly involved MPs Mitali Bag, Shatabdi Roy and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar. While the exact trigger for the exchange remains unclear, the argument reportedly intensified before other opposition MPs stepped in to defuse the situation.
After the incident, Banerjee left the House.
Women MPs Approach Speaker Om Birla
Following the altercation, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Shatabdi Roy and other NCPI MPs met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to register a formal complaint.
According to sources, the Speaker asked the MPs to submit a written complaint detailing the incident. The complaint reportedly alleged that Banerjee used abusive language and behaved inappropriately towards Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Shatabdi Roy and other women MPs inside the House.
The matter was subsequently taken up for consideration in the Lok Sabha.
House Approves Suspension Motion
Describing the allegations as serious, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal moved a motion seeking Banerjee's suspension for the remainder of the Monsoon Session.
The Lok Sabha Speaker placed the motion before the House, where it was approved through a vote. Following its adoption, Banerjee was suspended for the rest of the ongoing session and instructed to leave the House premises immediately.
Soon after the announcement, the Lok Sabha was adjourned until the following day.
