A case related to outraging the modesty of a woman has been registered against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra for a social media post on National Commission for Women chief Rekha Sharma.
The MP from West Bengal’s Krishnanagar, who was disqualified from the Lok Sabha last year after the cash-for-query row and won with a margin of about 56,000 votes this time, had made a remark on Thursday in reaction to videos of the women’s commission chief meeting women injured in the Hathras stampede in which 121 people were killed.Â
The videos showed someone holding up an umbrella for Ms Sharma and Ms Moitra had made a “pajamas” reference, which sparked a controversy. She later deleted the post.Â
