Mohua Moitra.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, in her maiden speech in the Lok Sabha, attacked the Narendra Modi government by accusing it of ushering in fascism in the country. To back her claim, she read out seven signs of fascism, which she took from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Moitra, while speaking on the motion of thanks to the president’s address in the Lower House, on Tuesday, said, “We have to decide which side of history we want to be on ... the side that upholds the constitution or the side that becomes its pallbearers.”
She added, “You will see there are signs everywhere that this country is being torn apart.”
Moitra, in her list of “signs” included: “superficial nationalism that’s searing in the fabric of the country, a resounding disdain for human rights, suppression of dissent, control of mass media, obsession with national security and intertwining of religion and government.”
She said, “The superficial, xenophobic and narrow nationalism is a lust to decide, not a desire to unite.”
