00:00 Srinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra was among the senior party leaders detained by the Delhi
00:13 police following a sit-in protest staged inside Krishi Bhavan after they were denied a meeting
00:19 with Union Minister of State for Rural Development, Sadhvi Niranjan Choti being given a prior
00:25 appointment.
00:26 Moitra shared a clip on X where she could be seen being casted out from the Krishi Bhavan
00:32 by security personnel.
00:34 The video shows that Delhi police cops are forcibly lifting Moitra off and dragging her
00:39 out of the protest site while the person recording could be heard shouting at the personnel.
00:45 What are you doing?
00:46 She is an MP.
00:47 General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, Derek O'Brien were the other TMC leaders who were
01:01 detained by the Delhi police.
01:03 The Union Minister was scheduled to meet TMC leaders including Party General Secretary
01:07 Abhishek Banerjee at 6pm according to party MP Shantanu Sen.
01:12 However, the party delegation had to wait for around 90 minutes following which the
01:17 MOS said she could not meet them.
01:21 This is how elected MPs of the world's largest democracy are treated after being given an
01:26 appointment to meet with the Minister of the Government of India which she refused to honour
01:30 after making us wait for 3 hours.
01:33 Shame Narendra Modi.
01:35 Shame Amit Shah.
01:36 Moitra wrote on X.
01:38 While being taken away in a bus, Moitra shouted out that the delegation had been manhandled
01:44 and physically removed.
01:46 TNB leaders armed with bundles of letters addressed to the Prime Minister and the Rural
01:52 Development Minister were determined not to leave until they had an audience with the
01:56 Minister.
01:57 Lead by Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee, a group comprising party MPs and
02:02 state cabinet ministers continued their dharna which persisted until 9pm.
02:08 The TNMC which holds power in West Bengal has made a serious acquisition against the
02:12 BJP led NDA government.
02:14 They claim that the central government under the leadership of the BJP has withheld 15,000
02:20 crore rupees in payments owed to the state.
02:23 These funds are related to two major welfare programs, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
02:28 Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
02:33 In response, the BJP has rejected these allegations, accusing the TNMC of orchestrating a drama
02:39 in Delhi to divert attention from their alleged scandals in West Bengal.
