On December 8, 2023, amid turmoil, the Lok Sabha ousted Mahua Moitra, a member of the Trinamool Congress, over the “cash-for-query” charge in a voice vote.
The resolution to remove Ms. Moitra was made by Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi by the Ethics Committee report’s recommendation. The committee determined that Ms. Moitra had shared her credentials with others and accepted gifts in exchange for businessman favors.
Based on a complaint filed by Supreme Court attorney Jai Anant Dehradrai, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey claimed in October that the Krishnanagar MP was questioning the Parliament in return for money and gifts from businessman Darshan Hiranandani.
Hiranandani stated in an October 19 affidavit to the Ethics Committee that Moitra gave him her password and login ID for Parliament so he could “post questions” directly “on her behalf when required.”
