# Dipke slams Supreme Court for Mahua Moitra fear eggs remark 2026-08-07T16:51:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has criticised the Supreme Court for its remark to TMC MP Mahua Moitra during a hearing on her plea to join a police probe via video. The court had told Moitra, a parliamentarian, that she should not fear ‘eggs’ when freedom fighters took bullets. Dipke asked on X whether the court now expects everyone to take bullets and what hope such statements leave for ordinary citizens. The Supreme Court refused to interfere with a Calcutta High Court order directing Moitra to appear in person before the investigating officer in a hate speech case. Moitra had cited safety concerns and the threat of egg-pelting. Her lawyer withdrew the petition after the bench’s refusal. The FIR stems from Facebook videos posted by Moitra that allegedly hurt religious sentiments. It was filed in June by a BJP leader in Nadia district. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Abhijeet Dipke, free speech, Mahua Moitra, political protests, Supreme Court, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sc-remark-draws-everyone-take-bullets-retort-in-moitra-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
