The meeting of the
Lok Sabha Ethics Committee which is investigating the cash-for-query
allegations against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra by BJP MP Nishikant
Dubey will take place today at 4 pm.
The Committee has
drafted a final report which will be adopted in today’s meeting.
According to sources,
the committee can recommend the expulsion of Mahua Moitra from the Lok Sabha
and can take action against Bahujan Samaj Party MP Danish Ali, who is a member
of the committee.
Mahua Moitra
appeared before the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee on November 2 over the
cash-for-query allegations against her. Along with Opposition members of the
panel, she “walked out” of the meeting alleging that she had been asked
personal questions.
Opposition members
of the Ethics Committee also raised questions over the line of questioning and
alleged that “personal questions” were posed to the Trinamool Congress MP.
BSP MP Danish Ali,
Janata Dal (United) MP Giridhari Yadav, and Congress MP Uttam Kumar Reddy were
among those who “walked out” of the meeting.
In a post on X,
Nishikant Dubey said, “Lokpal today, based on my complaint, ordered a CBI
inquiry against MP Mahua ji, who committed corruption by mortgaging national
security.”
BJP MP Nishikant
Dubey had lodged a complaint with the Lokpal against the Trinamool Congress
leader on October 21.
Under the ‘Cash
for Query’ charges made by Nishikant Dubey against Mahua Moitra, he alleged
that the Trinamool MP had taken bribes from Dubai-based businessman Hiranandani
to raise questions in Parliament to target the Adani Group.
He also claimed
that Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai had provided him with proof of alleged bribes.
Both Dubey and Jai Dehadrai have appeared before the Lok Sabha Ethics
Committee.
