TMC MP Mahua Moitra to appear before Lok Sabha Ethics Committee in alleged ‘cash-for-query’ scam

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra will appear before the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee today in the alleged ‘cash-for-query’ scam.

Sources said, she will be questioned on basis of reports received by the Ethics Committee from three Union Ministries along with other documents and evidences.

The Parliamentary panel had sought information from the three Ministries. Mahua Moitra has refuted the allegation, but admitted to sharing parliamentary login with businessman Darshan Hiranandani.

Supreme Court lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai who accused Moitra of taking bribes for asking questions in Parliament was cross-examined by the Ethics Committee last month.
