Kolkata Press Club Rebukes Mahua Moitra For Her Remarks Against Media

Kolkata Press Club on December 7 issued a statement against the TMC MP Mahua Moitra for using derogatory remarks against journalists. Moitra, at a public meeting, had called media personnel present there as "2 paise ke patrakar" after losing her temper when some of her own party members started protesting against her. The press club also mentioned that they were concerned about the comments made by the MP as "no one has the right to hurt the journalists." The statement, which was issued in Bengali by the President of the club, also demanded Mahua Moitra to withdraw her comments and "express regret" over it.
