Cash-for-query row: For 1st time since Mahua row, Mamata backs MP

IndiaTimes Thursday, 23 November 2023
Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee broke her silence on the cash-for-query controversy involving Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday, rallying behind her and declaring BJP's alleged attempt to oust her from Parliament "a foolish thing to do". "This way, they will end up making her more popular," Mamata said at a party convention in Kolkata, echoing Moitra's claim that the parliamentary ethics committee's report recommending her expulsion had turned her into "Jhansi ki Rani". TMC reinstated Moitra as the party's Krishnanagar district president recently, with Mamata endorsing the appointment.

Jaya Bachchan Takes on Jagdeep Dhankhar: Demands Apology After Heated Rajya Sabha Clash

Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan voiced strong objections following a tense exchange with Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Bachchan criticised the tone used by the Chair, asserting that MPs should not be treated like "school children," especially senior members of Parliament. She expressed particular frustration over the Chairman's decision to cut off the microphone when the Leader of the Opposition attempted to speak, calling it an undemocratic act. Bachchan further condemned the use of what she described as "unparliamentary language," recounting how Dhankhar dismissed her stature as a celebrity, stating, "You may be a celebrity, I do not care." In response, Bachchan emphasised her long-standing experience as a parliamentarian, noting that she was now serving her fifth term. Deeply offended by the conduct in the House, she demanded an apology, arguing that the current discourse in Parliament had reached an unprecedented low. #JagdeepDhankhar #JayaBachchan #RajyaSabha #ParliamentDebate #VerbalSpat #UpperHouseUproar #PoliticalTensions #IndianPolitics #ConstitutionalCrisis #DemocracyDebate #SamajwadiParty #OppositionVsGovernment #PoliticalClash #JagdeepVsJaya #ParliamentShowdown ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.334~

Bangladesh Protests: Mamata Banerjee Offers Shelter to ‘Those in Distress’ as Death Toll Crosses 130

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Sunday that the Trinamool Congress-led state government would provide shelter to people fleeing violence in Bangladesh if they seek refuge in Bengal. Speaking at a mega 'Martyrs' Day' rally in Kolkata, Banerjee emphasized the humanitarian duty to aid those in need, referencing the United Nations' resolution on refugee protection. "I cannot speak anything about Bangladesh as it is another country. The Indian government will speak about that. But if helpless people (from Bangladesh) knock on Bengal's door, we will give them shelter. There is a resolution of the UN. Neighbours will respect refugees," Banerjee declared amid heavy rain. #BangladeshProtests #StudentUnrest #DhakaLockdown #QuotaReform #MamataBanerjee #BangladeshProtestLIVE #BangladeshCivicUnrest #BangladeshNews #InternationalNews #MamataBanerjeeRally #MartyrsDayRally #Bengal #BangladeshRefugees ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.103~
