Dramatic Tension: Chaos Erupts in Joint Committee Meeting

The Joint Committee on Waqf Bill meeting became tumultuous when TMC's Kalyan Banerjee violently reacted during a heated debate with BJP's Abhijit Gangopadhyay. Banerjee's outburst led to personal injury, requiring first aid, and intervention from other political figures to calm the situation.

In a dramatic turn of events in the Joint Committee on Waqf Bill meeting, TMC member Kalyan Banerjee made headlines by smashing a glass water bottle and discarding it amid a fiery verbal clash with BJP's Abhijit Gangopadhyay.

This disruptive act resulted in Banerjee injuring his thumb and index finger, for which he required immediate first aid treatment. Notably, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and AAP leader Sanjay Singh were seen assisting Banerjee back to the meeting room.

Against this tense backdrop, committee chair BJP's Jagdambika Pal presided over discussions with retired judges and lawyers, as opposition members raised questions about their involvement in the bill.
