New Delhi: Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee injured himself on Tuesday after he smashed a glass water bottle following an argument with former Calcutta High Court judge and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Abhijit Ganguly.

According to the details, there was a heated exchange between the two during a meeting of the Joint Committee on Waqf Bill. Banerjee broke the water bottle at his table and injured his thumb and index finger. He also attempted to throw it towards the chairman’s desk. Soon after, Banerjee was taken for medical aid, receiving four stitches in his hand, News18 reported.

Banerjee was suspended for one day and two sittings under rules 261 and 374(1)(2) of the Lok Sabha for his words against the Chairman of the Committee, Jagdambika Pal and for his behaviour of throwing a broken bottle at the Speaker.

As many as 9 votes were cast in favour of the motion, moved by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, to suspend Banerjee and eight against. Voting happened on the same and the BJP led. NDA scored nine votes and the opposition got eight votes, the report added.

Later, a video shared by news agency PTI showed the moment when Banerjee was being taken back to the meeting room by All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh.

The committee, chaired by BJP’s Jagdambika Pal, was listening to the views of a group of retired judges and lawyers when the opposition members questioned what was their stake in the bill.

Later, sources said Banerjee may be suspended from the committee for the act.
