Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, whose expulsion from parliament was formally agreed upon by the Ethics Committee today, called it a "pre-fixed match by a kangaroo court". "Even if they expel me, I will be back in the next Lok Sabha with bigger mandate," the MP, who is currently in her constituency in Bengal, was quoted as saying by news agency Press Trust of India.
"This is a pre-fixed match by a kangaroo court, which is of no surprise or consequence. But the larger message for the country is that for India, it is death of parliamentary democracy," Ms Moitra said.
Disputing the legitimacy of the Ethics Committee's mandate to recommend expulsion, Moitra criticised the BJP, saying, "I am happy that the BJP has shown to the entire country the mockery they have made of parliamentary democracy."
