Moitra said, “Delhi Police, please take immediate action on the suo motu order,” in response to the NCW’s post. I’m in Nadia if you need me for an immediate arrest in the next three days. I’m competent with my own umbrella.”

The Special Cell of Delhi Police filed a formal complaint on Sunday against Mahua Moitra, the TMC MP, for allegedly damaging a woman’s dignity on social media by making a “inappropriate comment” against NCW leader Rekha Sharma.

In a letter to Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora, NCW Joint Secretary A. Asholi Chalai urged action against Moitra. Moitra allegedly posted offensive remarks about Sharma on social media on Thursday. Following a stampede that claimed the lives of over a hundred women and children in Hathras, footage and pictures of Sharma being escorted by her staff while holding an umbrella went viral.

Moitra’s tweet featured screenshots of Sharma’s prior remarks made on social media, in which she dubbed senior politician Sonia Gandhi and politician Lalu Prasad Yadav a “perfect couple” and termed Yadav a stupid. Sharma was seen in a another screenshot making a “obscene comment” on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his spouse.

While Delhi Police is investigating, Moitra stated in her post that they should “please file a FIR against another serial offender” in accordance with their new laws.

Taking note of the NCW’s suo motu ruling, Moitra went on to post on X that she was in the West Bengali district of Nadia and may be arrested by Delhi Police in three days.

“Come on, Delhi Police. Please follow these suo motu directives right now. Her message said, “I am in Nadia if you need me for a quick arrest in the next three days.”

New Delhi: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra has been charged by Delhi Police’s Special Cell for disparaging National Commission for Women (NCW) chairman Rekha Sharma. This was announced by officials on Sunday. The Women’s Commission filed a complaint with Delhi Police on July 5th, leading to the filing of the FIR.

The Delhi Police Special Cell’s Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) team will look into the issue, according to media sources.

The Pajama Comment: On July 4, Rekha Sharma, the chief of NCW, traveled to Hathras to speak with the injured women from the devastating stampede that left 121 people dead. In the video, she was joined by a person who had an umbrella over her.

Many social media users responded to the video by questioning why the NCW chief was unable to carry her own umbrella.

TMC MP Moitra made a contentious remark about Sharma in response to one such tweet, stating, “She is too busy holding her boss’s pajama.” The NCW is frequently accused by opposition parties of being employed by the BJP-led NDA government.

The FIR was filed on July 5 as a result of the commission’s harsh condemnation of Moitra’s “insulting, rude” remarks and its call for severe action against her.

Rekha Sharma’s Reaction: In a sharp response to Moitra’s remark, Rekha Sharma referred to the TMC MP as a “troll.” “She has no interest in her work, she is busy trolling people, and I don’t waste my time on trolls,” Sharma stated, criticizing Moitra. Sharma further explained the occurrence, saying that because of the throng and her involvement in it, she didn’t ask for an umbrella and didn’t even aware someone was holding it.

Moitra said, “Come on @DelhiPolice, please act immediately on these suo motu orders,” in response to the NCW’s tweet on X. If you need someone to quickly arrest me within the next three days, I’m in Nadia. I am able to carry my own parasol.

Later on X, Moitra published a series of previous remarks made by Rekha Sharma on different leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, Sonia Gandhi, and Lalu Prasad. Sharma was called a “serial offender” and a FIR was demanded against her.
