Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, alleging verbal abuse and misogynistic behaviour by fellow TMC member Kalyan Banerjee.
In a letter obtained by Hindustan Times, Dastidar sought permission to lodge a formal complaint against Banerjee, who she claims has repeatedly verbally abused her inside the Lok Sabha.
Dastidar also accused Banerjee of misogyny, stating that it has been directed towards many lady members and needs to be punished.
This comes a day after Dastidar resigned from all organisational posts in the Trinamool Congress, citing differences with the party leadership and 'deep mental conflict and long reflection'.
She clarified that she would continue as a MP and remain within the party as an ordinary worker.
