What Has Happened?

Kalyan Banerjee targeted Mahua Moitra’s personal life to get back at her. He said that Mahua Moitra returned from her ‘honeymoon’ and had initiated a fight with him. Taking a dig at the label of anti-woman, Kalyan Banerjee defended himself and questioned Mahua Moitra’s decision to marry her 65-year-old man. He further accused her of breaking a 40-year-old marriage and called her anti-woman. Kalyan Banerjee also said that the MP was expelled from the Parliament over breach of ethics, and he refused to take any preaching from her, as per the Times of India report.

It all started when Kalyan Banerjee commented on the recent Kolkata rape case and blamed the victim. As per reports, the minister had said that police would not be able to do anything if a friend raped another friend. TMC made an official comment on this and refrained from being associated with it, and strongly condemned the remark.
