Mimicry Row: SC Advocate Files Complaint With Ethics Panel, Seeks Expulsion Of Kalyan Banerjee, Rahul Gandhi

The Supreme Court advocate sought expulsion of TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other parliamentarians who were involved in the mimicry of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.

New Delhi: A Supreme Court advocate filed a complaint with the Ethics Committee of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha seeking the expulsion of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the other parliamentarians who were involved in the mimicry of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar in the Parliament premises, news agency ANI reported.  

“Such actions and behavior by the Opposition party leaders are highly derogatory and offensive to the dignity of the House and its members are inconsistent with the standards which the House expects from its members,” Supreme Court advocate Vineet Jindal wrote in his complaint.

“Such misconduct is also a dishonour and disregard of the rules of the conduct and Parliamentary Etiquette. It is a matter of great shame that the members of the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha have been so disrespectful and loud-mouthed to a person who holds one of the highest positions in the Indian Parliament and Vice President of India. It is a disgrace that these Opposition leaders have failed to abide by the principles of conduct laid by the Ethics Committee. Indulging in such misconduct of mocking the Hon’ble Chairman of the Rajya Sabha has brought disrepute to the parliament and also questions their credibility,” he added.

Notably, amid protest against the ouster of Opposition MPs for disrupting the House proceedings, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee tried to mock the Rajya Sabha Chairman by mimicking his mannerisms, while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was seen shooting the act on his mobile phone.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Jyoti Waghmare said Kalyan Banerjee will not be allowed to enter Maharashtra till he apologises for his act, ANI reported.

Ruling party members stood during the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha expressing solidarity with VP Dhankhar on Wednesday, news agency PTI reported.
