Mahua Moitra says she was informed upon making inquiries that ‘the armed officers had been deputed for my protection’, but claims she never sought a security cover.
Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra, also a member of the Parliamentary panel on IT, says some former employees of Facebook had reached out to her on the hate speech issue.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Why does the Indian elite always gravitate toward non-Indian Indians. Seriously, is there a traitor to Hindu civilization the Print doesn’t praise. She married a white man who beat her and converted the children and her to christianity. He then left her for a more attractive white girl. Her recompense is ruling over brown people on behalf of her Church Fathers.
@Jimmy Corrigan What rubbish! Can’t counter her on facts, so resort to character assassination. Typical chaddi behaviour.
Mr. Chatterjee, no one has declared Mahua Moitra to be a PM in waiting, and since this thought has definitely crossed your mind, let me tell you that I would be extremely proud and happy if she is able to attain this highest seat of office in India. There are no two ways about stating that the need of the hour is to have feisty leaders like Ms. Moitra holding the reins of the country so that bigoted and double-faced politicians of the existent variety are forever relegated to the background of a history that need never be looked into again.
MM is indeed fiesty, courageous, eloquent and often on point. Sadly, lot of her criticisms aimed at the central govt more often than not, also apply to her own govt in WB.
May be a great orator, what it’s of use if it’s not constructive? She can throw out all hyperbole’s and cry out loud about democracy. Democracy does not mean you can do anything. That will lead to anarchy.
Modi haters like Mahua Moitra only do loud speaking without any relevant substance. Their futality of shouting in case of CAA and now farmers protest have not helped them.
we think she is the PM in kicking arse. She is what young India needs. “education, urbane good sense and guts”. We will see more of her. and don’t worry. Didi is not losing anything.
I started reading the opinion thinking that may be Mahua Moitra had raised some very important issues in LokSabha. But, it seems it was an article to further her political interests and a way of the author to vent his/her anger on the Government.
Crony Capitalism was when 2G Scam, Coal Scam happened, when to favour Ambani Universal License was given for telecom. Ambani didn’t become Ambani in last 6 years, mind that.
Fascism doesn’t happen when a cartoonist is arrested by Mamta Banerjee Government, but, when someone who is creating a toolkit with references to Khalistanis is being arrested. Pls share facts and just don’t give plain absurd opinions.
If wealth was created for everyone from so long why so many people were waiting for electricity, LPG since independence. Probably because if everyone can get LPG where to get subsidized kerosene for adulteration.
This woman should be the Prime Minister of India and I hope that happens soon. No one else is close to her skills in showing the BJP how much of a Fascist government they have.
She is a dhimmi Christian that is the definition of House Negro serving their Fascist Caucasian Master.
Some of our women are outstanding. Mahua is a bold and virtuoso speaker who stands up for democracy. She made a great speech about the criminality of the Chief Justice who was shielded by the govt. over a molestation case. The BJP members shouted against her. Their only argument is that she was insulting a sacred post. They put criminals in charge of sacred posts and then say ‘you should not demean the chair’ ! ! This is their standard defence – of Modi, Yogi, Sadhvi – and all of their violent cadre.
Begum Zainab Sikandar, did you check your worth with Smt Moitra before penning this fawning piece? She had declared in a public forum in West Bengal, press to be worth two paisa as they came in uninvited by her in a TMC meeting where she was holding forth.
Shouting at a frantic pitch, reading up plagiarized scripts is no ideal for youths. Unless by youth you mean those unemployable unemployed 20 year old dolts.
The Party hoppers normally tend to be the fire brand leader in their speeches. The changing ideology makes it extremely difficult to convert sense into non-sense and the other way round with logic. The way out is by screaming, yelling, abusing, crudely insulting opponents and praising and coping the current boss.
Oratory is respected, when it comes with in depth knowledge, sound logic, commend on the language and articulation with correct intonation. Criticizing the opponent has to be done in a dignified way, where necessary with sarcasm.
That is the difference between a parliamentarian a street-corner activist.
What is unapologetic and fearless on the street is crude and arrogant in a protected environment of the house.
Mahua Moitra is more like a lays chips packet. More gas less chips.
I listened to her speech in Lok Sabha. It is only rhetoric, sound bites & no substance. She talked without giving any supporting data. A typical of left intellectual. She is blaming Central govt & its policies but did not spell what exactly is the real issues in those policies. Regarding the farm laws nobody including Mahua talked about what is the issue in those laws, how it is going to negatively affect the farmers.
As per me Mahua becomes a ‘Shero’ to all Modi haters including to Print
Mohua is superb and an asset to any Parliament. But having read many previous articles of Zainab ,I feel she has lost the objectivity of a journalist. Banding about tired catch catchphrases of anti Moises does not substitute for journalism
Mahua Moitra like Shekhar, Mamata and congress, think that only she is intelligent but she is way far away from reality. They can’t even understand the pulse of nation, definitely not possible when they are too biased.
If she is such a good person, she will not be in a thuggish party like TMC. She will not be in politics at all. Modi also gave such fiery speeches when he didn’t have power.
I agree… She drops the word fascism like an old Bengali communist all the time, at the proverbial drop of a hat ! What is TMC then ? Mamta her boss is a nazi
Why doesn’t she talk of population explosion. If the population of is not controlled it will be difficult for people who believe in education and science and prosperity to SURVIVE and take modern scienctific education .
HINDUS must vote for a party which will not discriminate against HINDUS and protect their progressive culture from RIOTERS AND PROSELYTIZERS.
THE real future of INDIA will be dependent on a continuous population reduction and modern scienctific education a community which opposes population control and modern education which is in variation with religious beliefs might end up bringing INDIA on it’s knees.
Once TMC loses Bengal, this upstart will also end up losing her LS seat. Infact in the event of mamta losing assembly polls, she will be not waste her time in TMC. So before hold your horses before you declare her some sort of “PM in waiting”

With this eulogy you have risked her membership.
Once Didi reads this article, alarm bell will ring, she will see her as contender and in couple of months time, it’s marching orders.
Just ask ex rail minister.
MM is indeed fiesty, courageous, eloquent and often on point. Sadly, lot of her criticisms aimed at the central govt more often than not, also apply to her own govt in WB.
And she is also a beauty without brains
May be a great orator, what it’s of use if it’s not constructive? She can throw out all hyperbole’s and cry out loud about democracy. Democracy does not mean you can do anything. That will lead to anarchy.

She must be gorgeous that is why most apolitical people watch her

Agree with every word in this article. Ms. Moitra is the leader to look out for. I would live to see her as one in the Union Council of Ministers.
Mohua is superb and an asset to any Parliament. But having read many previous articles of Zainab ,I feel she has lost the objectivity of a journalist. Banding about tired catch catchphrases of anti Moises does not substitute for journalism

Blatantly a ‘paid for’ rubbish article by a sold second rate journalist.
The cr@p just keep rolling from 2nd sentence, paragraph-1.
If she is such a good person, she will not be in a thuggish party like TMC. She will not be in politics at all. Modi also gave such fiery speeches when he didn’t have power.
Mam aapka naam ki kaafi hai.. amazing journalism
Wow, you dont get this kind of quality journalism anywhere. The author has a very bright future in marketing and advertisements.
I agree… She drops the word fascism like an old Bengali communist all the time, at the proverbial drop of a hat ! What is TMC then ? Mamta her boss is a nazi

If this upstart loses her seat, it will be a loss to the nation and a win for parochial and headless politicians.
