Kalyan Banerjee's controversial comments in Parliament lead to adjournment, apology, and calls for disciplinary action.

  • Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee made personal remarks against Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia during a Lok Sabha discussion on amendments to the Disaster Management Act.
  • Banerjee referred to Scindia as a 'lady killer' and made additional comments about his appearance, prompting immediate objections from Scindia and other MPs.
  • The remarks were expunged from the record by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, and the session was temporarily adjourned due to the uproar.
  • Banerjee later issued an apology, but Scindia refused to accept it, stating that personal attacks and disrespect would not be tolerated in Parliament.
  • BJP women MPs, led by Andhra Pradesh BJP president Daggubati Purandeswari, called for Banerjee's suspension, citing a pattern of offensive remarks against women parliamentarians.
