Mausam Noor

Mausam Benazir Noor (born 15 October 1979) is an Indian politician, who is a former Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha from West Bengal and Vice Chairperson of West Bengal Commission for Women. She was President of Malda district TMC and a Member of Lok Sabha for Maldaha Uttar from 2009 until 2019.

Noor comes from a political Bengali Muslim family of Malda, West Bengal. Her uncle A. B. A. Ghani Khan Choudhury was Minister of Railways in the Third Indira Gandhi Ministry. She studied at La Martiniere Calcutta and received a law degree from Calcutta University. Mausam entered politics after her mother Rubi Noor (the then incumbent Member of Legislative Assembly of West Bengal for Sujapur constituency) died in 2008. In early 2009, she was elected to the Legislative Assembly from the same constituency and in May she was elected to the Lok Sabha. Noor was elected president of the West Bengal Youth Congress in 2011. Two years later, she was elected president of the Indian National Congress Malda district unit. In January 2019, she switched to Trinamool Congress party after her proposal of an electoral alliance with the party for the 2019 general election was turned down by the Pradesh Congress Committee.

In a significant political move ahead of the 2026 West Bengal assembly polls, Mausam Benazir Noor resigned from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and officially rejoined the Indian National Congress (INC) on January 3, 2026. The Rajya Sabha MP and former two-time Lok Sabha member described the return as an emotional "homecoming" aimed at uniting her family to strengthen the legacy of her uncle, the late Congress stalwart A.B.A. Ghani Khan Choudhury. She formally submitted her resignation from the Rajya Sabha shortly after rejoining the party in New Delhi. Her return, alongside her cousin and Malda South MP Isha Khan Choudhury, is seen as a strategic effort to consolidate the Congress's influence in the Malda district and the broader North Bengal region.
