LS suspends TMC's Kalyan Banerjee for using 'unsavoury' language against women MPs
Jul-22-2026

Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee was suspended from Lok Sabha (LS) after he allegedly used ‘unsavoury’ and unparliamentary language against women members during a heated exchange in the House chamber. The suspension came hours after Banerjee was involved in a heated altercation with his former party colleagues and Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) MPs in the Lok Sabha chamber. The NCPI members involved in the exchange included Mitali Bagh, Shatabdi Roy and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar. The reason behind the confrontation was not immediately clear.

When the House reassembled at 2 pm after its second adjournment of the day, Krishna Prasad Tenneti, who was presiding over the proceedings, referred to a complaint submitted to Speaker Om Birla by several members. He said Banerjee's remarks had ‘hurt the dignity of the House.’ 

Tenneti then asked Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal to move a resolution seeking Banerjee's suspension. The resolution was adopted by a voice vote amid Opposition sloganeering over the NEET paper leak and other issues. Following its adoption, Tenneti directed Banerjee to leave the House precincts. Amid continued protests by Opposition members, the House was adjourned for the day. The Monsoon session is scheduled to conclude on August 13.
