The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on Waqf Amendment Bill had another stormy sitting on Tuesday when Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee broke a glass bottle and hurt himself while arguing with BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay during the meeting.
In the complaint, the TMC quoted Gangopadhyay as saying, "Mamata Banerjee, how much are you being sold for? Your rate is 10 lakhs, why? Because you're getting your makeup done by Keya Seth? Mamata Banerjee, is she even a woman? I keep wondering sometimes."
The poll panel’s action against Gangopadhyay comes days after it received a complaint from the TMC alleging that he had passed objectionable remarks against Banerjee during a public meeting held on 15th May in West Bengal’s Haldia.
While speaking to news persons at his residence at Salt Lake on his choice of BJP to begin his political career, he said it is the only all India party, which, he claimed, was fighting the corruption of the ruling Trinamul Congress in the state.
