TMC MP Mahua Moitra claims Nadia administration ordered her to vacate circuit house
Opposition leaders raised security concerns after she said a crowd outside the circuit house chanted slogans and officials ordered her to leave.
- On Friday, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra refused to vacate Krishnagar Circuit House after Nadia district authorities ordered her to leave late at night, claiming the directive was harassment.
- An August 12 order from district officials cited "annual maintenance and cleaning arrangements," declaring the circuit house unavailable from Friday evening, though reservations confirmed before August 13 were exempt.
- Moitra alleged a "huge crowd" gathered outside shouting "Jai Shree Ram" to intimidate her, declaring, "Supreme Court had asked me to face the people on the ground like a freedom fighter and I am doing just that."
- Opposition leaders condemned the incident; TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee called it "insecurity," while Congress leader Pawan Khera criticized forcing a sitting MP to vacate amid a "baying mob."
- Moitra holds interim protection from arrest granted by the Calcutta High Court, yet she expressed frustration that the administration tasked with providing her protection was ordering her to leave.
