Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee, who faced backlash for his mimicry act on Parliament premises, has defended himself by stating that he is “helpless” if someone fails to understand humor and lacks a cultured mind to appreciate mimicry. Speaking at a political meeting in his Lok Sabha constituency Serampore, Banerjee pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also performed mimicry inside the Lok Sabha, and they had taken it in a lighthearted manner. He emphasized that mimicry is an art and expressed his helplessness if someone fails to comprehend it. Although he did not mention Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar by name, Banerjee questioned why he thought the act was directed at him and mocked the Vice-President for his constant complaints, comparing him to a crying child. Dhankhar had previously criticized Banerjee’s mimicry, deeming it “shameful” and expressing his hurt as a farmer’s son from the Jat community. Banerjee retaliated by challenging Dhankhar to reveal how many days he had worked in a field and criticized him for not supporting Olympic bronze medalist Sakshee Mallikkh, who accused BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexually harassing wrestlers. Banerjee accused Dhankhar of flattering the Prime Minister and suppressing the voices of the Opposition. The BJP condemned Banerjee’s act of mimicry and staged a protest in the Rajya Sabha.

The mimicry act sparked a heated debate, with opposition members demanding an apology from the Vice President. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the ruling party and the opposition in the Indian Parliament.
