The Story in Brief
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has claimed that the Nadia district administration ordered her to vacate her room at the Krishnanagar Circuit House late on Friday night. She said the Additional District Magistrate called at 9:47 pm asking her to leave, and later sent a written order. Moitra refused, alleging that a crowd outside was chanting Jai Shri Ram to intimidate her. She called the attempt harassment.
Moitra, who had appeared before Nadia Police earlier that day in a hate speech case, is a Lok Sabha MP from Krishnanagar. Opposition leaders including Abhishek Banerjee raised concern for her safety. The administration issued a notice stating the circuit house was closed for annual maintenance from August 14, but Moitra said her reservation predated that order and she would not vacate.
The Indian Opinion
This is a familiar script: a government order, a crowd slogan, and an MP crying foul. Moitra's version is detailed but lacks independent confirmation, while the administration's maintenance notice looks like a post-hoc excuse. Ordinary Indians are tired of both sides using state machinery and street mobs for political point-scoring. A concrete test will be whether the Nadia collector releases the maintenance schedule and work orders for the circuit house of August 14.
