You throttled my voice, lost 63 MPs, Mahua Moitra taunts BJP

TMC MP Mahua Moitra hit out at the ruling party for expelling her in the last Lok Sabha session, saying they paid a very heavy price for throttling her voice which led to loss of 63 BJP MPs.

Speaking during a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address to a joint sitting of Parliament, she said the BJP will not be able to treat the opposition the way they treated them during the last session.

“Last time I stood, I was not allowed to speak. The ruling party paid a very heavy price for throttling the voice of one MP,” she said, referring to her expulsion from 17th Lok Sabha in December 2023 over the ‘cash-for-query’ case.
