Mahua Moitra, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader, who had recently criticized the GOI in a speech, has written to Delhi Police after three armed officers were deputed outside her house, saying that she had never asked for any protection and does not need any.

Moitra has requested the police to remove them. “It appears I am under some sort of surveillance,” the member of Parliament was quoted as saying.

On Friday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmakers Nishikant Dubey and PP Chaudhary had given a breach of privilege motion notice in the Lok Sabha against Moitra for her speech in the House that soon went viral on social media.

The MPs in the letter said that Moitra had made ‘adverse statements’ against the former chief justice of India Ranjan Gogoi in respect to the discharge of his duties during her speech on Motion of Thanks on the President’s address on February 8. The letter said that Article 121 does not allow for discussion in the Parliament relating to the conduct of Judges of the Supreme Court and High Court with respect to the discharge of their duties.
