Waqf bill: TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee smashes glass bottle during argument with BJP parliamentarian Abhijit Ganguly, suspended from JPC

Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee was suspended for his alleged unruly behaviour during a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) meeting on the Waqf bill.


According to reports, Banerjee, who is a TMC MP from Serampore in West Bengal's Hooghly district, smashed a glass water bottle during an argument with  Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Abhijit Ganguly.

Banerjee injured his thumb and index finger during the altercation.

He reportedly received four stitches in his hand.

Banerjee was suspended for one day and two sittings under rule 261 and 374(1)(2) of the Lok Sabha for his words against the Chairman of the Committee, Jagdambika Pal and for his behaviour of throwing a broken bottle at the Speaker, reported News 18.

The motion moved by BJP MP  Nishikant Dubey demanding his suspension received nine votes in favour of it.

Slamming Banerjee, BJP leader Agnimitra Paul wrote on X: "It is absolutely disgraceful to see a sitting MP like Kalyan Banerjee resorting to such violent behavior! His actions of injuring himself with a glass bottle in a fit of rage during a discussion about a respected former Calcutta High Court Judge, Abhijit Ganguly, now a bjp MP are beyond unacceptable. This kind of unrestrained aggression sets a dangerous precedent, especially for someone in public office who should be an example of composure and responsibility."

"How can we expect law and order in West Bengal when leaders themselves are engaging in violence? This is yet another reflection of the deeply embedded culture of lawmakers and impunity under @mamataofficial regime. The people of Bengal deserve better than a party whose representatives behave so recklessly," she said.
