The Winter Session of Parliament is facing disruptions due to the "Mahua Moitra effect," which refers to Lok Sabha members sharing their passwords and OTPs for official portals and apps. After the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee faulted Mahua Moitra for sharing her password with an outsider, access to secretaries and personal assistants of MPs has been blocked. This has slowed down the functioning of MPs, as they now have to handle their own digital parliamentary tasks. MPs are unofficially reverting back to the old system of sharing passwords and OTPs with their assistants or secretaries.
