After a discussion on the Ethics Committee report on Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra in an alleged “cash-for-query” case, Moitra was expelled from the Lower House with voice vote amid huge uproar and a walkout by the Opposition MPs.
The Lok Sabha has been adjourned till Monday, December 11.
The ethics panel report on cash-for-query charges against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has recommended her expulsion from the 17th Lok Sabha, according to several media reports.
Reportedly, the panel's first report was tabled by Ethics Committee Chairman Vinod Kumar Sonkar, when the House re-convened at noon after an adjournment during the Question Hour.
The report said, “The serious misdemeanours on the part of Mahua Moitra call for severe punishment. The Committee, therefore, recommend that Mahua Moitra, MP may be expelled from the Membership of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha.”
"I am 49 years old, I will fight you for the next 30 years inside Parliament, outside Parliament," TMC leader Moitra said after Lok Sabha expelled her from the House.
