BJP slams TMC MP Mahua Moitra for her remarks against NCW chief

NEW DELHI: The BJP on Friday lashed out at TMC MP Mahua Moitra for her comments against NCW chief Rekha Sharma and demanded that she be “sacked” from the party.

This came a day after the TMC, commenting on a video posted on X showing the NCW president’s arrival at the site of a stampede that recently took place in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, wrote: “She is too busy holding her boss’s pyjamas.”

Reacting sharply, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla termed Moitra’s comment on the microblogging site as “extremely indecent, reprehensible and shameful” and said it was the “real face” of the TMC and the INDIA bloc of opposition parties.

“MP Mahua Moitra who justified and remained silent during the flogging of Sandeshkhali and Chopra Talibani, silent on Swati Maliwal is now making a disgusting comment against a woman who is also the NCW chief,” he charged.

Posting a screenshot of Moitra’s comment on X Against the NCW chief, the BJP spokesperson demanded that she be sacked by the TMC.

The BJP spokesperson also targeted the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the TMC MP’s comment and asked, “Will Priyanka Vadra, Rahul Gandhi, (Mallikarjun) Kharge ji, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Chaturvedi, AAP denounce this?”

“Will Mamata Didi take action against him? No, just like they remained silent on Sandeshkhali and (the flogging of a couple) in Chopra (West Bengal),” he added.
