Video: Mahua Moitra dragged by Delhi Police during protest over MGNREGA funds

Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra was dragged by Delhi Police while she was staging a protest with other TMC leaders on Tuesday. The incident occurred inside the Krishi Bhawan in the national capital over the release of MNREGA funds. 

Taking to Twitter, the TMC leader said, "This is how elected MPs of the world’s largest democracy are treated after being given an appointment to meet with a Minister of the Govt of India (which she refused to honour after making us wait 3 hours) (sic)."

She further added, "You can drag us out, but the truth won’t go away- you have illegally withheld thousands of crores of MNREGA funds from the poot of West Bengal. INDIA will throw you out come 2024. (sic)" 

Earlier on Tuesday, TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee lashed out at the Centre, accusing it of trying to intimidate protesters who had gathered in the national capital to press for the release of funds to West Bengal.
