Opposition MPs including TMC MP Mahua Moitra and BSP MP Danish Ali, walked out from the Parliament Ethics Committee meeting. TMC MP Mahua Moitra appeared before the Parliament Ethics Committee in connection with the ‘cash for query’ charge against her.
The Opposition MPs said the committee asked “personal and unethical questions” to Moitra, and one of the MPs leaked details of the meeting to the media while it was going on.
“What kind of meeting was this? They are asking all kinds of filthy questions,” Moitra, visibly upset, told reporters as she and the Opposition MPs stormed out of the room.
On the Parliament Ethics Committee meeting, Congress MP Uttam Kumar Reddy told ANI , “…The BJP bigwigs and the top guys in the government must be targeting her (Mahua Moitra) because she is continuously exposing Adani. We feel it’s not a good thing in parliamentary democracy to target an MP that to a very talented woman MP, a very good speaker, just because she opposes you on some issues. So we have been raising our stand both inside and outside the Parliament Ethics Committee and all of us opposition MPs felt that in the cross-examination there was persistent objectionable, undignified questioning. So Mahua Moitra and the five opposition MPs decided that it is not fair and we walked out of the meeting.”
