'Mob baying for her': Shashi Tharoor backs Mahua Moitra after late-night eviction bid
Tharoor urged the government to provide security to the TMC MP instead of asking her to vacate the government accommodation.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor expressed solidarity with TMC MP Mahua Moitra after she was allegedly evicted from a circuit house in Nadia district late Friday night. Moitra claimed that the Nadia district administration forced her to leave her official guest house room at 9:47 pm on August 15, despite being a sitting woman MP. Tharoor, in response, urged the government to provide security to Moitra as a mob was reportedly threatening her.
Moitra wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking intervention, alleging that she was harassed by a large crowd chanting "Jai Shree Ram" slogans outside the circuit house.
