Mahua Moitra Withdraws Defamation Case Against Media | Marya Shakil | The Last Word

Thirty-six hours ahead of the second sitting of the Lok Sabha Ethics committee probing the cash-for-query scam, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, in the line of fire, dropped the defamation plea against media houses. Ms Moitra's counsel told the Delhi High Court that the lawsuit would only continue against the BJP and two other defendants - MP Nishikant Dubey and lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai. Fifteen media houses were made a party to Mahua Moitra's suit. She has also sought relief against X, Google, and YouTube to remove the allegedly defamatory content against her from these platforms. In another U-Turn, the MP said she will appear before the ethics panel on November 2. When the Lok Sabha panel issued the date for her appearance, she had said she wouldn't be available till November 4. From crying foul to withdrawing the defamation plea, what's changed for Mahua Moitra?
