News Desk: TMC MP Mahua Moitra faces a privilege motion over her remarks in parliament on a former Chief Justice of India, in an apparent rethink after the government earlier indicated it would not pursue any action. Sources say the ruling BJP decided to proceed with the motion after Mahua Moitra shared video clips on Wednesday of her controversial remarks in the Lok Sabha. PP Chowdhary, a former Minister of State for Law, put in the request for privilege motion. Later, another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, also did so.
In reply she took to Twitter and said
“You cannot bully me into silence with threats of privilege motions.
You cannot abuse high office, retire, & then hide under cover of Article 121.
Sexual harassment is not “discharge of duties””
In another tweet she said
“One has definitely done something right when entire might of government tries to divert attention from uncomfortable truths.
Please shower same attention to farmers at Delhi’s gates.
REPEAL OR NOTHING”
