'It is a party of barely 20 people': Kalyan Banerjee hits out at TMC rebels

Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee criticized the rebel Nationalist Citizens Party of India faction as 'a party of barely 20 people' after his suspension from Lok Sabha.

Banerjee was suspended for the remainder of the Monsoon Session due to alleged indecent behaviour and misogynistic language against women MPs.

The suspension followed a heated exchange between Banerjee and NCPI MPs Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Mitali Bagh, and Shatabdi Roy.

Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal moved the suspension motion based on a written complaint from Speaker Om Birla.

Banerjee called the rebel MPs 'traitors and dishonest people' and claimed the government would fall after a year.
