“I seek your permission to lodge a formal complain to you for redressal against Lok Sabha Member of AITC Kalyan Banerjee, who has repeatedly verbally abused me inside the Lok Sabha. This misogyny has been against many lady members and needs to be punished,” said the TMC leader in the letter addressed to Om Birla.
Dastidar resigned from all organisational posts of the Trinamool Congress on Wednesday, days after publicly airing her disappointment with the party leadership.
The parliamentarian, who recently skipped key party programmes and voiced discontent over the TMC’s internal functioning, submitted her resignation from all party responsibilities. She, however, continues as MP.
Dastidar held several positions in the TMC, the most prominent among those being the president of the party’s women’s wing.
Significantly, she attended the administrative meeting on Tuesday, chaired by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, despite objections from the TMC leadership.
