TMC MP Mahua Moitra has declined to attend the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee hearing scheduled for October 31 in connection with the cash-for-query accusations against her. Moitra, on her social media platform X, explained her unavailability on October 31 and stated that she looks forward to giving her deposition after her pre-scheduled constituency events conclude on November 4.
‘I don't need any cash to stand up to Mr Adani and Mr Modi.... I quit a well-paying job and my record of public service is there for everyone to see’
The BJP had intensified its attack on Mahua Moitra over allegations of she taking bribes for raising questions in Parliament, demanding that either the TMC leader should step down as MP or TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee "sack" her.
Vaishnaw said the NIC will extend "full cooperation" to the Committee in the investigation of charges levelled by Dubey against Moitra.
Moitra said she is "amused" by Vaishnaw's response to Dubey's letter and welcomed the BJP "to do a hit job on me"
