TMC MP Mahua Moitra was in Bharat when her
parliamentary ID was used in Dubai and the National Informatics Centre (NIC)
has disclosed the information to probe agencies, said BJP’s Lok Sabha member
Nishikant Dubey, firing a fresh salvo, on Saturday.
In a post on X in Hindi, the BJP leader said that “an
MP pawned the country’s security for some money.”
“The MP’s ID was opened from Dubai when the so-called
parliamentarian was in Bharat. The entire Indian Government, including the Prime
Minister, finance department and central agencies, uses this NIC,” said the BJP
MP.
“Does the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition
still have to do politics? People will take a decision. The NIC has given this
information to probe agency,” said Dubey but did not name the agency.
In his post, Dubey did not directly name Moitra who he
has accused of accepting bribes and favours for asking questions in Lok Sabha
at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani to target the Adani Group and
Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Lok Sabha’s Ethics Committee is looking into Dubey’s
complaint and has asked him to appear before it on October 26 for recording “oral
evidence”.
In a signed affidavit submitted to the committee,
Hiranandani admitted to using Moitra’s parliamentary login to ask questions
targeting Adani after State-owned behemoth Indian Oil Corporation booked
capacity at the Gujarat-based conglomerate’s Dhamra LNG import facility in
Odisha and not at his firm’s planned facility.
Moitra, whose party has kept quiet on the issue, has
remained combative and continued to attack Dubey, dismissing the allegations
against her.
Moitra said on Friday, “I welcome answering questions
to CBI and Ethics Committee (which has absolute majority of BJP members) if and
when they call me.”
