Event Summary

India — Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra moved a privilege notice before India — Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla against three senior officials of India — Nadia district in India — West Bengal, alleging breach of protocol and contemptuous conduct after she was asked to vacate a circuit house late at night on August 14. The officials named are District Magistrate Srikant Palli, Additional District Magistrate Jitendra Singh (politician), and Deputy Collector Anamika. Moitra claimed the eviction order, dated August 12, was communicated only via WhatsApp at 10:52 pm, despite her having been served tea and dinner earlier. She alleged the action was part of a larger effort to impede her parliamentary duties and raised concerns about the safety of a woman MP staying alone. CPI(M) MP Koppillil Radhakrishnan also wrote to the Speaker urging a formal inquiry. Moitra had previously filed a privilege notice in July over an alleged attack by BJP workers. The BJP denied involvement in the earlier incident.
