Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra takes Pappu dig at Modi government over economy
Moitra accused the Narendra Modi government of spreading lies about India’s development.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha member Mahua Moitra attacked the central government for telling its own figures regarding the development of the country. She said that every February the government assures the people that the economy is doing very well and that they all will be getting all the basic facilities like gas cylinder, housing and electricity.
She added that by the time December comes, Centre’s claims gets blown out and the truth seems to be limping. Moitra said that the government has said that it needs an additional amount of Rs 3.26 lakh over and above the budget estimate.
Moitra accused the Narendra Modi government of spreading lies about India’s development. At the same time, she appealed to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to control the economy and claimed that the India economy is going through a very bad phase.

Moitra began her speech in the Lok Sabha by quoting author Jonathan Swift. She said that just as the worst writer has readers, the biggest liar has believers. If a lie is believed even for an hour, it has done its job because lies fly and truth comes limping after it.
Moitra also attacked the central government for coining the word Pappu. She said that this government has coined the word Pappu and use the term to denigrate and denote extreme incompetence. But the figures of Indian economy show who is the real Pappu?
Citing new data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO), Moitra claimed that the country’s industrial production contracted by four per cent in October to a 26-month low. And said that maximum employment opportunities exist in this sector. But now this sector has come down to 5.6 percent.
Moitra also attacked BJP’s defeat in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections and said that the National President of the ruling party is getting defeated in his house. “So tell me who is Pappu now?” said the TMC leader. At the same time, Moitra also pointed to the exodus of Indians and attacked the central government, citing data on the increasing number of people renouncing Indian citizenship.

ISIS conspiracy case: NIA raids multiple locations in Maharashtra, Karnataka; 13 arrested
The case concerns a criminal conspiracy that the accused and their allies, who established a terror gang and vowed allegiance to the violent ideology of ISIS, planned.

In connection with the ISIS conspiracy investigation, the National Investigation Agency raided 44 places in Karnataka and Maharashtra and detained 13 people from Pune.
Of these 44 sites, two were in Pune, 31 in Thane Rural, 9 in Thane City, 1 in Mira Bhayander, and 1 in Karnataka.
The case concerns a criminal conspiracy that the accused and their allies, who established a terror gang and vowed allegiance to the violent ideology of ISIS, planned.
Just one month ago, the national agency in the Pune Module submitted a chargesheet against seven people who were part of an ISIS-related conspiracy. The accused participated in the terror outfit’s fund-raising and collection efforts with the goal of advancing its violent and terror-related activities.
It was discovered that the defendants had set up terrorist training camps, harboured known and wanted terrorists, and had committed crimes before IEDs were invented. They were also discovered to be in possession of ammo, guns, and IEDs.
The Indian Penal Code, the Explosives Substances Act, the Arms Act, and the UAPA Act all have different sections that address the allegations.
Shahnawaz Alam, an Islamic State (IS) terrorist sought by the NIA in relation to the Pune ISIS module case, was apprehended by the Delhi Police in October.
Alam was taken into custody a few days after the NIA offered him a Rs 3 lakh reward. In the follow-up action, Arshad Warsi and Mohammad Rizwan, two other accused terrorists, were also taken into custody. Alam, an engineer by trade, was discovered to be in possession of a chemical substance, which was taken, according to an official.
Regarding the case, the NIA claimed to have taken evidence against Shamil Saquib Nachan from his Thane district home in August, when he was apprehended.
The NIA had earlier filed its first supplementary chargesheet against nine Karnataka residents in connection with an alleged ISIS plot to conduct terror acts throughout India.

Mamata Banerjee slams BJP over Mahua Moitra expulsion from Lok Sabha says betrayal of parliamentary democracy
The West Bengal CM and Trinamool Congress boss said she felt sad to see the attitude of the BJP. She said the BJP did not allow Mahua Moitra to explain her stand.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday slammed the BJP over Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra’s expulsion from the Lok Sabha after a debate on the cash-for-query allegations. She said the move was unacceptable and betrayed India’s parliamentary democracy.
Talking to the media, Banerjee said she felt sad to see the attitude of the BJP. She questioned how the BJP can betray parliamentary democracy. She said the BJP did not even allow Mahua to explain her stand in the House. She added full injustice had been done to the expelled MP.
Banerjee said the Trinamool Congress stands in full support of Moitra. She said the BJP could not defeat the Trinamool in elections, so they have resorted to vendetta politics. She said Moitra will return to Parliament with a bigger mandate. Banerjee said the BJP thought it can do whatever it wants as they have a brute majority. She added that a day will come when the BJP will not be in power.
After her expulsion from the Lok Sabha, Moitra told reporters outside Parliament that said will fight it out over the next 30 years inside and outside Parliament, inside the gutter and on the streets. She accused the BJP of hating Muslims and women. She claimed Adani was buying all of India’s ports and airports. She said Adani shareholders are foreign investors and the Home Ministry was giving them clearance to buy India’s infrastructure.
Reacting to her expulsion, Moitra said there was no evidence of any cash, any gifts anywhere. She said she had been expelled for sharing her Lok Sabha portal login. She said there are no rules governing the sharing of logins. She said tomorrow the CBI will be sent to her house and she is going to be harassed for the next six months.
Many Opposition parties have supported Moitra over the way she was expelled without getting a chance to put forth her stand.
