New Delhi, June 26: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has taken the Internet by storm with her maiden speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Moitra delivered a fiery first speech during which she attacked the Narendra Modi government on several issues and spoke of dissent and "signs of fascism" in the country. Her 10-minute long speech in Parliament was shared on the social media with several Internet users praising her for keeping the dissent alive despite a clear majority mandate for the BJP in the Lok Sabha Elections 2019.

Moitra also quoted poets like Ramdhari Singh Dinkar to speak about the existence and importance of dissent in the country. She also quoted Maulana Azad during her speech, which she concluded by quoting Rahat Indori, saying, "Jo aaj saahibe masnad hain kal nahin honge, Kiraaydaar hain jaati makaan thodi hai, Sabhi ka khoon shaamil yahan ki mitti me, Kisi ke baap ka hindustan thodi hai."

When MP Mahua Moitra rose up to oppose the Motion of Thanx on June 25, not many thought she would deliver one of the most spirited speeches in recent parliamentary history. https://t.co/3AFl0Nf2cD

This should have been the speech the mainstream media should have covered. Instead the headlined the boring congress is bad speech by Modi. https://t.co/27d5Gb5l1p

Moitra was also heckled by several during her speech in Lok Sabha. But she kept speaking while telling the Speaker to put the House in order. She also stated that professional heckling must not take place inside the Lok Sabha. During her speech, she not only attacked the Modi government but also pointed out some lies being spread by the Congress about Bengal. Moitra has had a good start as MP as far as the reactions on social media are concerned. It will be interesting to see her participation in certain affairs discussed in Parliament.
