NCW files complaint against Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra
The HinduThe National Commission for Women on Friday said that it has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police over Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra’s “derogatory” comments against its chief Rekha Sharma on social media. In a statement on Friday, the Commission said, “Upon careful consideration, the Commission has determined that Ms. Moitra’s remarks fall under Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023. The derogatory nature of these remarks, particularly directed at the Chairperson of the NCW during her official visit to Hathras, is profoundly reprehensible and urges for strict legal action against Ms. Moitra.” The ruling BJP also attacked the Trinamool MP over her comments against the NCW chief Rekha Sharma and demanded that she be “sacked” from her party. BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla termed Ms. Moitra’s comment as “extremely indecent, objectionable and shameful”, and said this is the “true face” of the Trinamool and the opposition parties’ INDIA bloc.
