New Delhi: The TMC MP Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha in ‘cash for query’ matter. The Ethics Committee report was tabled in the House on Friday. It is further worth mentioning that the opposition staged a walkout after the Lok Sabha adopted a motion to expel Mahua Moitra as TMC MP.
Speaker Om Birla said (As reported by ANI),”…This House accepts the conclusions of the Committee that MP Mahua Moitra’s conduct was immoral and indecent as an MP. So, it is not appropriate for her to continue as an MP…”
On the other hand “The Ethics Committee has no power to expel…. This is the beginning of your (BJP) end,” said Mahua Moitra after her expulsion as TMC MP (As reported by ANI).
She further added, “…If this Modi government thought that by shutting me up they could do away with the Adani issue, let me tell you this that this kangaroo court has only shown to all of India that the haste and the abuse of due process you have used demonstrates how important Adani is to you. And to what length you will go to harass a single woman MP into shutting her into submission…” (As reported by ANI).
“Justice has been denied to Mahua Moitra,” said Sudip Bandyopadhyay (As reported by ANI) after Mahua Moitra was expelled as TMC. The Opposition MPs walked out from Lok Sabha after the motion to expel Mahua Moitra was passed in the House. The House has been adjourned till 11 December said reliable reports.
