Mahua Moitra, a TMC MP, was the first to draw attention to the interaction on Friday morning when she uploaded a video of the incident on X (formerly known as Twitter). “True impartial example @ombirlakota has reportedly told @rameshbidhuri not to do this. Wow. While other less important non-BJP mortals, like @adhirrcinc & @SanjayAzadSln suspended for far less,” she stated. She challenged Mr Birla to bring a “privilege motion” against her but insisted that he first explain what steps he was taking to take Mr Bidhuri into account.
