TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee comments on Jyotiraditya Scindia's look, later apologises calling him 'handsome'

New Delhi/IBNS: The Parliament proceedings were disrupted again Wednesday following personal attacks on Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia by Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee.

Although Banerjee later tendered an apology for his remarks, Scindia refused to accept it.

Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, the Trinamool leader said that he had already apologised and added a compliment for Scindia: "He is a very handsome and nice man."

The chaos erupted when Banerjee alleged non-cooperation by the Centre during the COVID-19 pandemic as the House was having a simple discussion on the amendments to the Disaster Management Act.

To this, Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai and Scindia countered the charges and said the Narendra Modi-led government helped all the states as well as the world during the crisis and emerged as a "Vishwa Bandhu".

However, the spat escalated when the Trinamool leader passed a comment on Scindia's looks and family legacy, calling him a "lady killed". Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla expunged the remarks and adjourned the House till 4.40 PM

After the proceedings resumed, the Serampore MP apologised for his comments and said, "I didn't want to hurt anyone, including Mr Scindia. I am really sorry if I hurt anyone."

However, Scindia refused to accept his apology, saying, "Kalyan Banerjee has said sorry. We all come to this House with the spirit of contributing to the nation's development. However, there will be no compromise on self-respect."

Scindia said that he would not tolerate personal remarks.

"If you will get personal, be prepared for the response also...I do not accept his apology," he said.

Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day soon after.
