3 BJP MPs demand FIR against Trinamool MP for JPC violence

by

New Delhi: Three BJP MPs have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla demanding filing of an FIR against Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee and his immediate suspension from the House, a day after Banerjee was suspended for a day from the parliamentary panel on Waqf (Amendment) Bill.

Describing his conduct in the meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf (Amendment) Bill on Tuesday as “unprecedented violence”, the BJP members, in the letter, have sought an investigation into the matter by the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee to consider rescinding Banerjee’s membership from the Lower House. The letter was signed by Nishikant Dubey, Aparajita Sarangi and Abhijit Gadopadhyay.

Amid a heated exchange of words with Gangopadhyay during the meeting on Tuesday, Banerjee smashed a glass bottle and allegedly threw it towards the panel chairperson Jagdambika Pal.

In their letter to the Speaker, the BJP members said they along with other members of the panel witnessed the “act of goondaism and unpardonable violence” by Banerjee during the sitting of the parliamentary committee.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, A Raja, DMK MP and a member of the JPC on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, accused Pal of violating norms by speaking to the media about the incident of an Opposition member smashing a glass bottle and allegedly throwing it towards him.


Rejecting Raja’s allegations, Pal asserted he was ready to resign if Opposition members say he did not allow them to speak during the meeting. Pal said he has not revealed any proceedings or deliberations of the committee and only made a statement about an incident of violence during the committee meeting.
