TMC MP Mahua Moitra’s Twitter Account Hacked, Posts About NFT Sneakers

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra’s Twitter account was hacked by a phishing attack on Friday. The TMC leader’s account was posting about NFT sneakers and her bio was changed to ‘DIGITAL ALCHEMIST’.

Her hacked profile bio read ‘DIGITAL ALCHEMIST – Marketing for Nike – Building the future of NFT sneakers/collectibles, created by creators.’ The tweets posted on her account were about NFT sneakers and collectables.

Mahua Moitra Targets PM Modi Over Covid Deaths In India

Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra on Sunday said that India’s official Covid death tally is 5.2 lakhs, whereas WHO’s estimate is 8 times this figure. She targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a report by The New York Times which claims that the Indian government was stalling the efforts by the World Health Organization (WHO) to publish its estimate on excess Covid deaths.

“Lying and stalling data publication doesn’t make truth go away. India official Covid death is 5.2 lakhs- WHO estimate is 8 times this figure. Let’s face facts & learn from them. 56 inches can’t mask 56 lakhs,” Mahua Moitra tweeted.

Meanwhile, Union Health Ministry on Saturday gave a statement regarding ‘The New York Times’ article and said India has been in regular and in-depth technical exchange with WHO on the issue. India’s basic objection has not been with the result (whatever they might have been) but rather the methodology adopted for the same.

 

‘Vajpayee’s worst fears have come true’: Mahua Moitra slams BJP for ‘Modi’ Chants in Parliament

On Tuesday Trinamool Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra said that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s worst fears have come true.

Referring to Vajpayee’s remarks in Parliament in 1972, Mohua Moitra said that the government has turned Parliament into Rome’s Colosseum where the prime minister enters like a gladiator to the chants of ‘Modi, Modi’.

She said, “I would like to quote former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1972 who said in Parliament: These days the atmosphere in New Delhi makes one choke. It is not easy to breathe freely. The chanting of a prime minister’s name on All India Radio from morning to night, saturated propaganda on cinema screens, how can people sitting in the Opposition fight this.”

She further said, “It is India’s greatest tragedy perhaps that the very party Vajpayee ji led as prime minister today leads the government that has turned this very same Parliament into the Colosseum of Rome,”

Mahua Moitra said participating in the discussion on the demands for grants for the ministry of civil aviation 2022-23.

This remark came after BJP members chanted the name of PM Modi in the Lok Sabha when the Budget session resumed after BJP’s resounding victory in four states including Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur.
