The Calcutta High Court has stayed an arrest warrant against TMC MP Mahua Moitra issued by a Krishnanagar court for her 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 sought exemption from personal appearance, citing her parliamentary duties. The case involves complaints alleging derogatory remarks against the Union home minister, armed forces, and Hindu religious symbols.
