🤯 “Idioms, Not Insults”: 7 Fiery Shots mahua moitra Fired at bjp for ‘Not Understanding English’
The war of words between Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has escalated yet again. After an FIR was filed against her for allegedly making “derogatory” remarks about Union home minister amit shah, Moitra clapped back, declaring that “idiots don’t understand idioms.” Here’s how the fiery exchange unfolded:
1. The Spark That Lit the Fire
Moitra allegedly said in bengali that Shah’s “head should be cut off” for failing to stop illegal infiltration. The comment ignited nationwide outrage, and an FIR under Sections 196 and 197 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was promptly filed.
2. Moitra’s Defense: Idioms, Not Threats
She argued her words were purely idiomatic bengali expressions. Phrases like “matha kata jawa” or “matha ke tebi le rakha” translate to “owning responsibility”, not literal beheading.
3. Her Sharpest Counterpunch
Calling out her critics, Moitra didn’t hold back:
“Idiots don’t understand idioms, which is where we are.”
A line that instantly went viral.
4. english Idioms as Examples
Moitra explained: when the Lok Sabha 2024 slogan “Abki Baar, 400 Paar” fell flat, the foreign media called it “a slap in the face” for Modi. Did anyone actually slap him? No. It’s an idiom.
5. The “Heads Will Roll” Analogy
She reminded the bjp that phrases like “heads will roll” are not violent calls but historic metaphors for accountability—originating from monarchs punishing disobedience.
6. Twisting Words Into Controversy
Moitra accused the police and the bjp of deliberately twisting her bengali expressions into violent threats when in reality, they were no more than everyday metaphors.
7. The Bigger Political Message
Through her defense, Moitra turned the tables—painting bjp as too literal-minded and humorless to grasp figurative language, while positioning herself as sharp, witty, and unafraid of confrontation.
🔥 Bottom Line: mahua moitra didn’t just defend herself—she weaponized language itself to portray the bjp as “dumb enough” to miss the point of idioms, transforming a controversy into a political punchline.
