What happened
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla requesting intervention in an accommodation-related dispute involving a Circuit House in Krishnanagar, West Bengal.
Mahua Moitra alleged that she faced pressure to vacate a room at the Circuit House even though Mahua Moitra had been allotted a room at the State-owned property.
Mahua Moitra urged the Lok Sabha Speaker to protect the dignity of women parliamentarians.
Mahua Moitra argued that the Women’s Reservation Bill would be meaningless if the leadership of the House could not ensure protection for women parliamentarians facing significant obstacles to reach Parliament.
The reported account of Mahua Moitra’s claims attributes the information to PTI.
