Mahua Moitra Alleges Egg Pelting by BJP Workers During West Bengal Meeting
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra alleged that BJP workers threw eggs at her during a political meeting in West Bengal's Krishnanagar constituency, despite her informing the police beforehand. She referenced a Supreme Court judge's earlier remark that she should not fear eggs, comparing her response to that of freedom fighters facing bullets. The incident involved protests with black flags and slogans, leading to tensions and a scuffle between party supporters. Moitra has previously faced similar attacks and sought court protection.
