Aakhir Tak – In Depth:

Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee found himself in the middle of a scuffle during a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) meeting discussing the Waqf Bill, resulting in an injury. According to sources, a heated argument erupted between BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay and Kalyan Banerjee during the meeting. In a fit of rage, Banerjee grabbed a glass water bottle from the table and smashed it against the surface, accidentally injuring his hand in the process.

The incident, which took place at the Parliament Annexe, led to Banerjee sustaining a deep cut on his hand, necessitating four stitches. The meeting was momentarily paused following the mishap. However, despite the chaos, the session resumed later, though questions about security and decorum within parliamentary discussions have since arisen.

This incident has sparked widespread criticism, with several political leaders condemning the unruly behavior in such a formal setting. The Trinamool Congress described the situation as unfortunate and downplayed the injury as an accident. Despite this, the event has brought attention to the rising tensions among members of parliament during critical discussions, potentially affecting the sanctity of parliamentary proceedings.

Many hope that such behavior won’t be repeated in future sessions, as it casts a shadow over the professionalism expected in Indian politics.
