TMC MP fires at MP Yusuf Pathan

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has publicly criticised fellow party MP and former cricketer Yusuf Pathan, raising questions about his recent visit to Delhi. She hinted whether the visit was prompted by a call from Union Home Minister Amit Shah and urged Pathan to demonstrate courage and independence.

Her remarks have sparked debate in political circles, as public criticism between two sitting TMC MPs is rare. Pathan, who defeated senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, has been at the centre of speculation regarding his role within the party. Neither Pathan nor the TMC leadership has responded so far.
