The ethics panel report on cash-for-query charges against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has recommended her expulsion from the 17th Lok Sabha. The panel’s first report was tabled by Ethics Committee Chairman Vinod Kumar Sonkar, when the House re-convened at noon after an adjournment during the Question Hour.
“The serious misdemeanours on the part of Mahua Moitra call for severe punishment. The Committee, therefore, recommend that Mahua Moitra, MP may be expelled from the Membership of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha,” the report stated.
“In view of the highly objectionable, unethical, heinous and criminal conduct of Mahua Moitra, the Committee recommends an intense, legal, institutional inquiry by the Government of India in a time-bound manner,” the report stated. The report was earlier listed in the agenda of the lower house for December 4 but was not tabled.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra left the Parliament after the report on her was tabled in Lok Sabha.”We haven’t received it yet. Let me have my lunch and come back. Whatever has to happen, will happen after 2 pm,” she said.
