Silly Souls!…. : TMC MP Mahua Moitra’s Jibe On Tandoori Chicken Row

Mahua Moitra

“BJP’s hired help commenting on what food suspended MPs eat on dharna. Silly Souls! Don’t you know your masters serve both tongue & cheek ?!” the TMC MPs tweet read.

Responding to the criticism on the tandoori chicken row, TMC MP Mahua Moitra took a dig at Union Minister Smriti Irani and called BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla who objected to suspended MPs eating tandoori chicken in front of the Gandhi statue in the parliament premises,  “BJP’s hired help commenting on what food suspended MPs eat on dharna. Silly Souls! Don’t you know your masters serve both tongue & cheek?!” Mahua Moitra’s cryptic tweet read. Silly Souls is the Goa bar that is making headlines because of irregularities alleged by Congress.

“BJP’s hired help commenting on what food suspended MPs eat on dharna. Silly Souls! Don’t you know your masters serve both tongue & cheek ?!” the TMC MPs tweet read.

The suspended MPs have been protesting in the Parliament complex for 50 hours non-stop. Different parties are taking care of their food and a roster has been made accordingly for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On Thursday, the TMC reportedly arranged for tandoori chicken. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla objected to non-vegetarian food being served in front of the Gandhi statue and questioned the seriousness of the protest.

“As per media reports, some suspended MPs protesting in front of the Gandhi Statue in Parliament consumed tandoori chicken. Everyone knows Gandhi Ji had staunch views on the slaughter of animals. Many people are asking if this was a protest or a farce and a picnic,” Mr. Poonawalla said.
