Digital Desk: The Lok Sabha Ethics Committee is set to convene its first meeting on Thursday to address the cash-for-query allegations against Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament, Mahua Moitra. This high-stakes investigation follows a complaint by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who accused Moitra of accepting bribes in exchange for targeting the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Supreme Court lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai, who played a crucial role in revealing alleged evidence of corruption, is scheduled to appear before the committee at 12 p.m. to provide his statement. After Dehadrai, Nishikant Dubey, who leveled the allegations, will appear before the panel at 12:30 p.m.
In his complaint submitted to Speaker Om Birla, Dubey referenced documents shared by Dehadrai, asserting that these documents contained "irrefutable evidence of bribes exchanged" between Moitra and businessman Darshan Hiranandani. These bribes were allegedly used to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Dubey, in his letter to Speaker Birla, claimed that Moitra had directed 50 of the 61 questions she posed in the Lok Sabha towards the Adani Group. This move raised suspicions, especially since Moitra had previously accused the business conglomerate of malpractices, particularly following a critical report by short-seller Hindenburg Research.
The controversy escalated with Moitra referring to Dubey as a "fake degree MP" and characterizing Dehadrai as her "jilted ex." Meanwhile, Darshan Hiranandani, the CEO of the eponymous real estate-to-energy group, alleged that Moitra had targeted Gautam Adani to "malign and embarrass PM Modi, whose impeccable reputation gave the opposition no opportunity to attack him."
In response, Moitra questioned the credibility of Hiranandani's letter, alleging that it was "drafted by the PMO" and that he was forced to sign it under the threat of a "total shutdown" of his family's businesses.
As the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee embarks on its inquiry into this contentious issue, all eyes are on the testimony of Jai Anant Dehadrai and Nishikant Dubey, which may shed light on the veracity of the allegations and their potential implications for Mahua Moitra and the Indian political landscape.
