Mahua Moitra writes to LS speaker after being asked to vacate circuit house at night

TMC lawmaker Mahua Moitra has written to Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla after being asked to vacate a circuit house in her Krishnanagar constituency late on Friday night, alleging it as a violation of her rights and a threat to her safety. Moitra, a strong advocate for women's rights, called the Women’s Reservation Bill a "matter of jest" unless the Speaker’s office ensures the safety and security of women parliamentarians.

She requested urgent intervention from Speaker Birla to address the issue and set an example for the protection of women in politics.
