Kalyan Banerjee Suspended From LS

New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed a resolution suspending Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee for the remainder of the Monsoon session (August 13) over his use of unparliamentary language against a woman member of the House.

Announcing the decision, presiding officer Krishna Prasad Tenneti said Kalyan Banerjee's remarks had "hurt the dignity of the House", following which the resolution to suspend him for the rest of the session was adopted.

Earlier, Banerjee was involved in a heated exchange with some of his former TMC colleagues, who are now members of the National Citizens Party of India(NCPI), inside the Lok Sabha chamber after the House was adjourned amid opposition protests.

The NCPI MPs involved in the exchange included Mitali Bagh, Shatabdi Roy and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar. Banerjee has remained
with the TMC under party chief Mamata Banerjee. The reason behind the confrontation was not immediately known.

Several Opposition MPs intervened to defuse the situation. When asked by other opposition members about the incident, Kalyan Banerjee left the House. Bagh, Dastidar and some other NCPI MPs later met Lok Sabha Speaker OM Birla in his chamber, apparently to raise the matter.

The resolution was adopted by a voice vote amid sloganeering by Opposition members over the NEET paper leak and other issues. Following the adoption of the motion, the Presiding Officer directed Kalyan Banerjee to leave the precincts of the House. The Lok Sabha was later adjourned for the day as Opposition members continued raising slogans.
