TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee submits written apology for remarks against Scindia

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday said that Trinamool Congress member of Parliament Kalyan Banerjee has submitted a written apology for his remarks against Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, besides apologising in the House.

As soon as the House met, some members belonging to BJP-led NDA stood up to raise the issue of remarks made by Banerjee on Wednesday.

However, Birla intervened and said that whatever happened on Wednesday was unfortunate and no member should make any personal remark against any fellow member.

Without taking Banerjee's name, the Speaker said that any remark "against women is in bad taste and it hurts their dignity and honour".
