In a dramatic turn of events, three BJP MPs have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla requesting the immediate suspension of TMC member Kalyan Banerjee. They are demanding the filing of an FIR following an alleged violent episode during a joint parliamentary panel meeting on the Waqf bill.

The letter, authored by Nishikant Dubey, Aparajita Sarangi, and Abhijit Gangopadhyay, seeks an investigation into Banerjee's conduct by the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee. Among the accusations is an alleged attack involving a glass bottle aimed at panel chairperson Jagdambika Pal.

Describing Banerjee's actions as 'unprecedented goondaism', the BJP members emphasized the need for stringent action to preserve the dignity of the parliamentary system. They have urged for Banerjee's suspension from the House and urged further investigative measures.
