TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee Questions Colleague's Verbal Abuse Allegations, Citing Delay and Motive

Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee has questioned the timing and motive behind party colleague Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar's allegations of verbal abuse in the Lok Sabha. Ghosh Dastidar wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking action, citing repeated abuse and a broader pattern of misogyny against female MPs. She has since resigned from her party posts, including president of the All India Trinamool Mahila Congress, citing concerns over the party's handling of such behavior. Banerjee emphasized the need for immediate reporting of incidents to the Speaker, implying a potential motive behind the delayed complaint. The incident highlights internal party tensions and raises questions about the treatment of women in Indian politics.
