Digital Desk: The Lok Sabha Ethics Committee has issued a stern directive to Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, requesting her presence before the committee on November 2. This development is related to the ongoing investigation into the 'cash-for-query' case.
The committee's decision comes in response to Moitra's earlier request for an extension, which was promptly declined. In her initial plea, Moitra had expressed her unavailability on October 31, citing her readiness to testify only after November 5.
Moitra, in a letter addressed to committee chairperson Vinod Sonkar, stated her eagerness to physically attend and present her defense against the allegations, which she referred to as "slanderous charges." She also requested the right to cross-examine businessman Darshan Hiranandani, whose claims are central to the inquiry. Moitra further insisted that Hiranandani should appear before the committee and furnish a detailed, verified list of the alleged gifts and favors he is said to have provided to her.
The 'cash-for-query' investigation remains a matter of great public interest, with the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee dedicated to ensuring a thorough and unbiased inquiry. Moitra's impending appearance is eagerly awaited as the nation watches closely to see how this case unfolds.
