The Supreme Court on October 1 sought responses from the Union government and West Bengal government on TMC MP Mahua Moitra’s petition alleging that authorities and politically affiliated groups were obstructing her work as an elected representative. Moitra claimed that since the BJP came to power in West Bengal in May 2026, she has faced difficulties accessing her Krishnanagar constituency, inspecting MPLAD projects, organising public meetings and obtaining police assistance. She also alleged attacks and multiple FIRs against her. A bench led by Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana directed Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to file counter-affidavits. (PC: PTI)
