Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has alleged that BJP workers hurled eggs and shouted slogans against her during a protest outside the residence of party MLA Alifa Ahmed in West Bengal's Nadia district. The incident occurred when Moitra arrived in Palashi, Kaliganj, to attend a TMC meeting at Ahmed's home. Sharing a video of the episode on social media, the Krishnanagar MP accused BJP workers of orchestrating the protest and alleged that the police failed to act promptly.

Protest Outside TMC MLA's Home

According to Moitra, a group of protesters gathered outside the residence of TMC MLA Alifa Ahmed in Palashi and raised "go back" slogans as she arrived for a party meeting. She alleged that the protesters also hurled eggs and shouted "chor" (thief) slogans during the demonstration.

Moitra later shared a video of the incident on social media, claiming the protest had been organised by BJP workers. ABP Live, however,  could not independently verify the authenticity of the video. 

Police Intervene

Police and central security personnel reached the spot shortly after the protest began and dispersed the demonstrators following discussions with them, according to a senior district police officer.

The latest episode comes weeks after another confrontation involving Moitra. On June 13, BJP Mahila Morcha workers had gathered outside the Krishnanagar district court, where the TMC MP was scheduled to appear in connection with a case. During that protest, demonstrators allegedly attempted to throw eggs at her.

Reacting to the earlier incident, Moitra had vowed legal action against those involved. She said she would approach the police and, if necessary, move the Calcutta High Court or the Supreme Court if she believed adequate action was not taken.
