Dubey had accused Moitra of accepting payments in order to raise issues in Parliament in a complaint she had filed with the Lokpal anti-corruption ombudsman on October 21.
Digital Desk: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday said that the Lokpal has ordered the CBI to investigate TMC MP Mahua Moitra for alleged corruption.
Days before, the BJP MP charged Moitra with asking questions in the Lok Sabha intended to criticise Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Adani Group at the request of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for gifts. The Lok Sabha Ethics Committee is investigating the situation.
Moitra has refuted the accusation that she obtained any pecuniary benefit.
In a post on X, Dubey wrote, "On my complaint, Lokpal today ordered a CBI inquiry against accused Mahua Moitra for indulging in corruption at the cost of national security." However, there was no official word from the Lokpal.
Moitra posted on X, "For the media calling me- my answer: 1. CBI needs to first file FIR on Rs 13,000 crore Adani coal scam. 2. National security issue is how dodgy FPI-owned (inc Chinese & UAE ) Adani firms buying Indian ports & airports with the Home Minister office's clearance. Then CBI welcome to come, count my shoes."
