Following the release of a video by the BJP alleging TMC MP Kirti Azad was vaping inside the Lok Sabha, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee announced the party will take action only after reviewing the complete footage. Banerjee emphasized the need to see the full video, questioning the validity of a short, 5-second clip. He affirmed the party's respect for Parliament's rules and dignity, stating they would issue a show-cause notice and take appropriate action if the full video confirms the allegations.
