Mahua Moitra Says She Won’t Appear Before Parliamentary Committee On Oct 31; Know Why

New Delhi: Mahua Moitra on Friday said that she won’t appear before the parliamentary Ethics Committee, which is inquiring into complaints of “cash for query” against her, on October 31. The committee is probing allegations that the Trinamool MP allowed businessman Darshan Hiranandani to access her parliamentary login to post questions directly for Lok Sabha, allegedly designed to target the government and the Adani Group.

Explaining why she won’t be able to depose on October 31, Moitra said, “Chairman, Ethics Comm announced my 31/10 summons on live TV way before official letter emailed to me at 19:20 hrs. All complaints & suo moto affidavits also released to media.”

Moitra said that she would appear before the committee immediately after the pre-scheduled programmes in her constituency end on November 4.
