The Lok Sabha MP has been accused of taking money to ask questions in parliament, on behalf of a businessman.
Mahua Moitra today 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 commitee is currently probing allegations that the Trinamool MP allowed businessman Darshan Hiranandani to access her parliamentary login to post questions directly for Lok Sabha.
Explaining why she won't be able to depose on October 31, Ms 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. I look forward to deposing immediately after my pre- scheduled constituency programmes end on Nov 4."
