The Budget Session of Parliament is ongoing and, like every session, major uproars between the treasury and opposition benches are ongoing. However, a video has come to light that shows camaraderie among MPs across party lines.
A video shows Bharatiya Janata Party MP Jagdambika Pal and Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee hugging each other at the Parliament complex premises. The video shows both leaders sharing a warm hug near the entrance of Parliament. Banerjee can be heard saying “Darling, my darling” while hugging Pal.
Jagdambika Pal and Kalyan Banerjee were part of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2024. Banerjee was a member of the committee, while Pal headed it.
Meanwhile, Tuesday marked the fifth day of the Budget Session.
