Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra Expelled From Lok Sabha

Delhi/Hyderabad, Dec 8 (Maxim News): The Lok Sabha on Friday expelled Trinamool congress leader Mahua Moitra as member of Parliament for unethical conduct in ‘cash for Parliament Questions’.

Before announcing the expulsion of Moitra, the Speaker requested every member that they need to prepare the question themselves. “No one can put the question on behalf of the MP. I am speaking on record. I am the Speaker and it is my responsibility to maintain the dignity of the House,” he said.

Moitra was expelled following the Ethics Committee report recommendations accepted on voice vote. However, Opposition members walk out of Lok Sabha as House votes to expel TMC MP Mahua Moitra for ‘unethical conduct.” The House was then adjourned for the day till 11 a.m. on Monday.

Speaker Om Birla said, “This House accepts the conclusions of the Committee that MP Mahua Moitra’s conduct was immoral and indecent as an MP. So, it is not appropriate for her to continue as an MP. “The Ethics Committee report probing ‘Unethical Conduct’ of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP had recommended that Moitra ‘may be expelled’ from the Lok Sabha and called for an ‘intense, legal, institutional inquiry’ by the Central government in a “time-bound manner”.

“The serious misdemeanors on the part of mahua Moitra calls for severe punishment. The Committee, therefore, recommend that Mahua Moitra, MP may be expelled from the Membership of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha, the report read. (Maxim News)
