Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee Breaks Glass Bottle During Argument With Ex-Judge Abhijit Ganguly, Injures Self

Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee injured himself on Tuesday during a meeting of the Joint Committee on Waqf Bill. The incident took place when an argument with BJP's Abhijit Gangopadhyay turned dramatic, and the TMC MP smashed a glass water bottle on a table before throwing it away. This injured him, hurting his thumb and index finger.

Banerjee was given first aid and had to reportedly get four stitches. The Joint Committee meeting, which was held at the Parliament Annexe, had to be halted briefly after the incident.

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 their stake in the bill.
