TMC MP Mahua Moitra walks out of Lok Sabha Ethics Committee

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra yesterday walked out of the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee which is hearing the 'cash-for-query' matter. Along with TMC MP,  BSP MP Danish Ali, JD(U) MP Girdhari Yadav and some other opposition members also walked out from the meeting. TMC MP accused the chairman of the panel Vinod Sonkar of asking her personal and unethical questions. 

Meanwhile, Mr Sonkar rejected the allegation saying she did not cooperate and left in order to avoid answering more questions. Talking to reporters



after the meeting, he said that instead of giving answers, she got angry and used unparliamentary language for the Chairperson, and Committee members. He said the Committee would sit and decide the further action.

The House panel is probing BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s allegations that Moitra accepted bribes and favours for asking questions in Lok Sabha at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
