Rebel Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking the expulsion of TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee. In her letters, she alleges that Banerjee engaged in repeated verbal abuse and misogynistic conduct during proceedings in the House. The complaint is directed at his conduct while functioning in the Lok Sabha as the party’s chief whip, according to the reports. Both accounts describe Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar’s move as an official request to the Speaker, rather than a public statement, and they cite the same broad set of allegations: alleged abusive language and misogynistic behaviour during debates or other sessions of the House. The reports do not indicate the outcome of the Speaker’s review or any immediate action taken following the correspondence. The matter remains at the stage of a petition to the Speaker regarding alleged misconduct in Parliament.
