Mahua Moitra vs Bengal officials: TMC MP moves privilege notice over late-night circuit house eviction
In her notice sent under Rule 222 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, Moitra has sought action against Nadia District Magistrate Srikant Palli, Additional District Magistrate Nirpendra Singh, and Nazareth Deputy Collector Anamika Bera, news agency PTI said.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has petitioned Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla with a privilege notice, accusing three senior officials in Krishnanagar of violating parliamentary protocol and engaging in contemptuous behavior. The officials targeted Moitra after she sought protection from harassment and impediment while visiting her constituency.
The officials allegedly ordered her to vacate the circuit house late in the night on August 14, despite her having been accommodated there and served meals. Moitra claims that the officials did not inform her about any suspension and that no alternate accommodation was provided. She also criticized the manner in which the order was communicated, stating that it was not formally notified.
Moitra believes this incident violates her rights and raises concerns about the safety and security of women MPs.
