Independent journalist Ajit Anjum on Wednesday alleged that TMC MP Mahua Moitra blocked him on X after he tagged her in a post criticising ruling leaders of her party Trinamool Congress over Kolkata-rape-murder incident.
In a post on X in Hindi, Ajit Anjum said, 'When I tagged Mahua Moitra with a question about the brutality that happened to a doctors daughter in Bengal, she blocked me. Waah, Madam, Waah! You question Modi's government with sharp criticism every day, but when I asked a single question about your own government, you immediately blocked me. Can you not handle a single question?'
'Do you only know how to ask questions? Is giving lectures on freedom of expression all you're good at? A daughter was brutalised under your rule, and no one can even ask you a question? Well, no worries. That’s why people say – even hypocrisy has its limits,' he added.
In another post, slamming Mahua for intolerance, he said, "Even hypocrisy has its limits, Madam Mahua Moitra. In your state, asking for an answer about the brutality inflicted on a daughter means getting blocked. Don’t talk about freedom of expression now. If, as a ruling party MP in Bengal, you can’t handle a single question, then you have no right to comment on rape incidents in UP, Bihar, or any other state. Don’t shout at the top of your lungs in Parliament or on the streets about incidents of rape and murder in other states."
Ajit on Tuesday shared a video in which a relative of Kolkata rape victim gave an account of the gruesome incident. In the post, he tagged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, TMC MP Mahua Moitra, Sagarika Ghose, Saayoni Ghosh and Kakoli Dastidar.
He asked TMC leaders if they can feel the pain of the family.
"Shouldn't you have visited this family by now? Under your rule, does a family have to suffer like this after the barbarity, rape, and murder of their daughter? Shame on all of you. You have no right to speak about rape incidents in any other state. Watch this video carefully. Listen. Feel this pain and decide what you should do now," he wrote.
After this post, Ajit Anjum claimed that TMC MP Mahua Moitra blocked him on X.
The shocking incident of the rape and murder case of a female trainee doctor at a state-run medical college in Kolkata has sparked outrage all over the country. The BJP has has alleged that the gruesome incident "under the watch of Mamata Banerjee and the TMC government is nothing short of Nirbhaya Part 2." The saffron party has also accused her of trying to protect the accused.
Netizensh also question Mahua Moitra for blocking accounts
After Mahua Moitra blocked Ajit Anjum on X, she faced backlash from social media users, who called her a hypocrite. "Mahua Moitra, who constantly targets Om Birla in the Lok Sabha for blocking the voices of opposition leaders, is herself blocking people on X just for asking her questions about the Bengal horror," one user wrote.

"Don’t question me about the mismanagement in my state, or I will block you. - Mahua Moitra," wrote another user sharing a screenshot after being blocked by Mahua.
Taking jibe at Mahua, a user wrote, "Here, people are blocked for asking questions. Give us a chance to serve once."
