Parliament Session / 'In an attempt to make me sit... the public made 63 BJP MPs sit permanently' - Mahua Moitra

Parliament Session: In the first parliamentary session of the 18th Lok Sabha of the country, there is a fierce debate between the ruling party and the opposition. For the third time instead of the last two terms, the opposition has emerged strongly. On Monday, Rahul Gandhi surrounded the central government on many issues in the Lok Sabha. Along with this, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra also tried to surround the central government.

TMC MP Mahua Moitra said, 'The last time I stood here, I was not allowed to speak. The ruling party has had to pay a huge price for suppressing the voice of an MP in Parliament. In the process of making me sit, the public has made 63 of your (BJP) MPs sit forever (defeat the election).'

Mahua Moitra was expelled from the House

Let us tell you that in December 2023, TMC MP Mahua Moitra was expelled from the membership of the House in the case of 'asking questions for money'. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi had moved a motion for the expulsion of Moitra. It was approved by the House by voice vote.
