This allegation has been made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey. Nishikant also wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla regarding this. The letter demanded the immediate suspension of Mahua from Parliament.
Strict action may be recommended in the meeting
Meanwhile, businessman Darshan Hiranandani has admitted in his affidavit that he posted questions on Mahua Moitra’s parliamentary login. However, he did not respond to inquiries on the cash issue. Darshan Hiranandani has also claimed to have given Mahua a gift. Mahua Moitra denied the cash allegations for questioning but admitted to sharing her parliamentary login. The argument behind it was that members were not informed of any rules governing its use. Now the ethics committee meeting is to be held in this matter today. The meeting may recommend strict action against Mahua Moitra.
