'Cash for query' charges: 'Let's see,' says Mahua Moitra on Ethics Committee report in Parliament

By IBNS
Dec 5, 2023 ..

New Delhi/IBNS: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra said she was not sure whether the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee's report on the cash-for-query charges brought against her will be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.


When she was asked outside Parliament, Moitra told reporters this morning, "Let's see. Let them bring. I am not aware of it. It's not there in the list of businesses. If they bring it, let them."

Brief about the case

The controversy was triggered after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on October 15 accused Moitra, who is known for her fiery speeches in Parliament, of asking questions on businessman Gautam Adani in Parliament in exchange for money.

Moitra, whose choice of words had triggered rows both inside and outside Parliament in the past, has been accused of accepting bribes from businessman Darshan Hiranandani and sharing her Parliament login details.

Dubey, a three term MP from Jharkhand's Godda constituency, even cited a letter from Moitra's estranged partner Jai Anant Dehadrai, a Supreme Court lawyer, in claiming that Moitra received bribes.

In several interviews, Moitra claimed she received a few gifts from Darshan but no money and shared the login details to put her questions on the portal only but she used to receive the OTP on her phone.

The BJP MP had appealed to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to form an inquiry committee to probe into the allegations brought against the first-term parliamentarian from West Bengal's Krishnanagar constituency.

Moitra had walked out of the Ethics Committee hearing allegeding she was asked "personal" and "filthy" questions which she felt have no connection with the entire case.

The Parliamentary Ethics Committee on Wednesday recommended the termination of Moitra's Lok Sabha membership calling her actions "highly objectionable, unethical, heinous and criminal".
