The Story in Brief
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla after Nadia authorities allegedly asked her to leave a circuit house late on Friday night. Moitra said she reached the state-run property in Krishnanagar at about 6.15 pm, but received a call at 9.47 pm and a WhatsApp order at 10.52 pm citing annual cleaning. She said a crowd outside shouted “Jai Shri Ram” after she refused to leave and sought protection for women MPs. She also contacted the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Moitra shared the purported order, which said the circuit house would be unavailable from August 14 and that bookings confirmed before August 13 were exempt. She said her reservation met that condition. Nadia authorities had not immediately responded, PTI reported. The incident follows protests and alleged egg, vegetable and stone attacks involving TMC events in Nadia. The BJP rejected her earlier allegation of involvement, blaming TMC factionalism.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that this was either routine cleaning or a coordinated political intimidation attempt cannot be settled by slogans and social media posts. The timing, the written order and the crowd outside require an impartial account from the Nadia administration, including who issued the instruction and whether the booking was valid. The key test is simple: will authorities publish the reservation record, the maintenance schedule and any complaint or CCTV evidence?
