Waah, Madam, Waah! You question Modis government with sharp criticism every day, but when I asked a single question about your own government, you immediately blocked me. Can you not handle a single questionAnjum lashes down Anjum further criticized Moitra for what he perceived as hypocrisy, accusing her of only being vocal about issues in other states while ignoring those in her own. Do you only know how to ask questions Is giving lectures on freedom of expression all youre good at A daughter was brutalized under your rule, and no one can even ask you a question. Well, no worries. Thats why people say – even hypocrisy has its limits, he added.In another scathing post, Anjum slammed Moitra for her alleged intolerance, saying, Even hypocrisy has its limits, Madam Mahua Moitra.
