Calcutta High Court Stays Arrest Warrant Against TMC MP Mahua Moitra
The Calcutta High Court has stayed an arrest warrant against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra issued by a Krishnanagar court for her alleged failure to appear in a hate speech case. The court will hear the matter again on August 27. Moitra's lawyer argued the allegations were baseless and that the case should be heard by a designated court for MPs. The case involves complaints accusing Moitra of insulting women and making derogatory remarks about religious symbols and officials.
