तृणमूल कांग्रेस की सांसद महुआ मोइत्रा ने लोकसभा में भाषण दिया तो उसकी खूब चर्चा हुई. लेकिन बाद में खबरें आने लगीं कि उनका भाषण कहीं से चोरी किया गया था. ट्विटर से ये नौटंकी शुरू हुई और बताया जाने लगा कि महुआ मोइत्रा ने वाशिंगटन मंथली के मार्टिन लॉन्गमैन के लेख से अपना भाषण चुराया. इस पर टीवी एंकरों ने कार्यक्रम कर दिए. लेकिन आज मार्टिन लॉन्गमैन जिन्होंने वाशिंगटन मंथली में लिखा था, उन्होंने ट्वीट किया है कि मैं भारत में काफी फेमस हो गया हूं क्योंकि एक राजनेता पर गलत आरोप लग रहे हैं कि उन्होंने मेरे लेख से चोरी की है. ये बेहद मजेदार बात है. लेकिन दक्षिणपंथी मूर्ख हर देश में एक जैसे ही होते हैं. कोशिश की गई कि महुआ मोइत्रा का भाषण जो लोकप्रिय होने लगा था उसकी साख खत्म कर दी जाए. अब आपको कोई नहीं बताएगा कि वाशिंगटन मंथली के मार्टिन ने महुआ मोइत्रा को बेदाग बताया है.

Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra submits breach of privilege motion against Zee TV and its editor
She accused the channel and editor Sudhir Chaudhary of falsely reporting that she had plagiarised her first address in the the Lok Sabha.

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday submitted a breach of privilege motion in the Lok Sabha against Zee TV and its editor Sudhir Chaudhary for allegedly falsely reporting her first address in the Lower House on June 25. However, Speaker Om Birla did not allow the motion, reported ANI.

“Sir, under Rule 225, I have given a breach of privilege notice against Zee TV and its editor, Sudhir Chaudhary for falsely reporting my maiden address in this august House,” Moitra said on Thursday while speaking in the Lok Sabha.

On Wednesday, Moitra had dismissed allegations that she had plagiarised her speech on “seven signs of fascism”, which had gone viral. Moitra said the speech came “from the heart” and blamed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s “troll army” for propagating the charges to shield actual problems.

Moitra, whose June 25 speech in the Parliament drew a lot of attention on social media, pointed out that plagiarism was when one does not divulge the source of the material. “My source as mentioned categorically in my speech was the poster from the Holocaust Museum [in Washington, DC] created by political scientist Dr Laurence W Brit pointing out the 14 signs of early fascism,” she had said. “I found seven signs relevant to India and spoke at length about each of them. My speech came from the heart and every Indian who has shared it did so from their heart. The hits were organic, not BOT controlled.”

Some critics had claimed that Moitra lifted parts of her speech from a Washington Monthly article from January 2017, written by Martin Longman. The piece, titled “The 12 early warning signs of fascism”, was in reference to the United States administration under President Donald Trump. Longman also wrote that the signs were listed in the Holocaust Museum.

Zee TV editor Chaudhary had tweeted the original article to claim that Moitra’s speech was plagiarised. “This is the article from the American website which Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra copied/plagiarised in her speech,” he had said on Twitter. “She has lifted the words directly from the article. The honour of a Parliamentarian is in danger.”

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vijay Chauthaiwale, on Monday also had tweeted a link to the original article, claiming Moitra’s speech was “plagiarism at its worst”. “The famous speech by @Trinamool MP #MahuaMoitra which @sardesairajdeep praised was an article written by a US journalist on Trump in Jan 2017,” he said. “All she did was to juxtapose Modi in place of Trump. Plagiarism at its worst.”

Martin Longman himself tweeted about the controversy: “I’m internet famous in India because a politician is being falsely accused of plagiarizing me.” He also used an expletive for the right-wing, and said that “it’s kind of funny” that they “seem to be similar in every country”.


Moitra, who is a former investment banker, is a first-time MP from West Bengal’s Krishnanagar.
