Mahua Moitra made a scathing remark directed at the BJP, warning them not to use fake narratives to oust women MPs. She emphasized that she possesses the precise transcript of the Ethics Committee’s proceedings, where the Chairman’s inappropriate and irrelevant questions, opposition protests, and her own objections are all meticulously documented in official records. In a pointed and assertive tone, she criticized the BJP’s actions as “Besharam & Behuda,” “shameless and indecent”
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra, who is currently facing allegations related to “cash for Parliament questions,” has launched a scathing critique against the BJP. She emphasized that before the BJP attempts to discredit its female Members of Parliament with fabricated narratives, they should take into account that she possesses an exact transcript of proceedings from the Ethics Committee.
In a social media post, Moitra, who represents Krishnanagar in West Bengal, expressed her apprehension about the BJP’s purported plans to file criminal cases against her. She welcomed the prospect but stressed that the CBI and ED must initiate investigations into the alleged Rs 13,000 crore coal scam involving Adani before delving into her personal matters.
Moitra further addressed the BJP, reminding them that she possesses an accurate verbatim record of the proceedings in the Ethics Committee. This record encapsulates the Chairman’s inquiries, opposition protests, and her own objections, all officially documented.
Moitra’s comments emerged following allegations by Ethics Committee Chief Vinod Kumar Sonkar, who accused her of evading questions posed by the panel and instead displaying anger towards him and the committee. Moitra and opposition members of the ethics panel had previously walked out of a meeting on November 2, alleging that the Committee Chairperson had asked her “personal and unethical” questions.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who had lodged a complaint against Moitra with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, took a dig at the Trinamool Congress leader, expressing a newfound appreciation for her “honesty” and suggesting that she had chosen to spare Adani in favor of Darshan Hiranandani.
Moitra had written to the Committee earlier, requesting the opportunity to cross-examine the complainant, Jai Anant Dehadrai, and businessman Darshan Hiranandani. The ethics committee is currently investigating allegations by BJP MP Dubey that Moitra accepted cash and favors in exchange for asking questions in Lok Sabha regarding businessman Gautam Adani, allegedly at the behest of Hiranandani. On the previous Thursday, Dubey and Dehadrai provided “oral evidence” to the panel in support of their claims against Moitra.
