Suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee on Monday defended his mimicry of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, arguing he can't help if someone lacks a "cultured mind" to appreciate humor. Banerjee triggered a political storm last week after impersonating Rajya Sabha Chairman Dhankhar on Parliament premises following unprecedented opposition MP suspensions. Speaking in his Serampore constituency in West Bengal, Banerjee claimed PM Modi was the first to perform mimicry in Lok Sabha, but Dhankhar had no objections then.
