BJP MP Accuses Mahua Moitra Of Taking Bribe For Questions
Bhartiya Janata Party MP Nishikant Dubey wrote a representation to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on October 15, 2023, appraising him about Trinamool Congress's MP Mahua Moitra's alleged acceptance of bribe in exchange of asking questions in the Parliament.
Dubey stated in his complaint that he received a letter from Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, who shared " irrefutable evidence of bribes exchanged between Smt. Mohua Moitra, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) and Shri Darshan Hiranandani, a well known business tycoon, to ask question(s) in Parliament in exchange for ‘Cash’ and ‘Gifts’."
As per the letter written by the Dehadrai, Smt Moitra asked approximately 50 questions in Parliament out of total 61 posted by her, which shockingly pertained to the protect the business interests of Shri Darshan Hiranandani and his Company.
It has been alleged that the acts of MP Mahua Moitra amount to breach of privilege, contempt of the House and also a criminal offence under Section 120-A of the Indian Penal Code.
Dubey has further stated in his letter to the Speaker that, "edifice of ‘morality’ being exhibited by Smt Mahua Moitra was nothing but a ‘Machiavellian Camouflage’ for committing a crime by entering into a criminal conspiracy and at the same time enjoying the title given to Smt Mahua Moitra as a ‘firebrand Member of Parliament’, which is nothing but a sham."
He emphasised that an Inquiry Committee may be constituted to probe into the matter and until the committee is constituted and submits its report, MP Mahua Moitra may be immediately suspended from the House so that she is not able to vititate the atmosphere of the House.
