Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has once again found herself at the center of controversy due to her recent remarks about Rekha Sharma, the chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW). In response to a social media post, Moitra remarked, “She (Rekha Sharma) is too busy holding up her boss’s pajamas,” drawing immediate condemnation from the NCW. The commission demanded an FIR against Moitra, labeling her remarks as derogatory and a violation of women’s dignity.(Date: July 5, 2024)
Background
On July 4, NCW chief Rekha Sharma visited Hathras to meet the women who were injured in a tragic stampede that claimed 121 lives. Videos showed Sharma at the stampede site with someone holding an umbrella for her. Social media users questioned why the NCW chief couldn’t hold the umbrella herself. Moitra seized the opportunity to take potshots at Sharma, implying that she was preoccupied with her boss’s pajamas instead of her duties.
Reactions and Fallout
Moitra’s snide remarks evoked a strong reaction from Rekha Sharma, who called the TMC MP a “troll.” Sharma clarified that she was not inside the umbrella and had not requested it. The NCW later took suo moto cognizance of Moitra’s derogatory comments and sought an FIR against her. The BJP also criticized Moitra’s attack on the NCW chief, demanding that she be sacked.
Conclusion
The “Boss’s Pajamas” remark highlights the tension between political figures and the importance of maintaining respectful discourse. As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how authorities will address this issue and uphold the dignity of women in public discourse.
