TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee suspended from monsoon session, called opposing MP ‘thief’; There was political turmoil

During the monsoon session of Parliament, the biggest and most uproar news of the moment is coming out from the country’s politics. Trinamool Congress (TMC)’s flamboyant and firebrand MP Kalyan Banerjee has been seriously accused of indiscipline during the Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha proceedings, after which major action has been taken against him. Kalyan Banerjee has been suspended from the House for the entire upcoming monsoon session for insulting the dignity of the House and using objectionable language against another MP. After this action, the political temperature has reached sky high from Parliament to outside. What is the whole matter and why did Kalyan Banerjee get angry? The heated debate during the Parliament proceedings turned violent and indecent when a heated argument broke out between Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee and an NCP MP. The matter escalated so much that Kalyan Banerjee, out of control in anger, called the opposition MP a ‘thief’ inside the House. Such unparliamentary language and aggressive attitude inside the House was taken very seriously by the Presiding Officer and Speaker of Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha. Considering the use of such language in the temple of democracy as a flagrant violation of the rules, a proposal for disciplinary action was brought with immediate effect. Will not be able to participate in the remaining part of the monsoon session. After this suspension, Kalyan Banerjee will not be able to participate in the meetings of this entire monsoon session of Parliament. He will also stay away from the meetings held in the House premises and the proceedings of parliamentary committees. A section of MPs from the opposition parties is terming this action as dictatorial, while the ruling party clearly says that it is the moral responsibility of every MP to follow the law and decorum in the Parliament and there should be no place for abusive language in the House. There is a lot of resentment in the TMC camp after this action and the party may soon issue a big statement in support of its MP. Politics heated up from Delhi to Kolkata. This disciplinary action taken in Parliament is having a direct impact on regional politics as well. A round of rhetoric has started on this issue from the political corridors of Delhi to Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. Leaders of BJP and NDA say that the opposition has no concrete issue left to discuss in the House, hence their MPs are continuously crossing the limits. At the same time, TMC supporters allege that the ruling party is using such suspension weapon indiscriminately to suppress the voice of opposition MPs.
