Mahua Moitra Lok Sabha Expulsion: The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Trinamool Congress are engaged in a heated war of words, with each accusing the other of "killing democracy".

Speaking on Moitra's expulsion, BJP leader Dushyant Gautam said that the way the TMC leader used her ID and killed the democracy, a Parliamentarian should never do such a thing.

For some money, she compromised with the security of the country," Dushyant Gautam said.
