Mahua Moitra called sloganeering as harassment
In a post on X, Mahua Moitra said that this is not a civil outrage. This is harassment and a violation of my safety on the plane. Under no circumstances can these scoundrels get away with this kind of harassment inside the plane. He further said that this is the culture of BJP. What is surprising in this? Moitra said that at first she ignored the matter and attended the parliamentary meeting. However, after watching the video on social media, he decided to speak publicly about the incident.
