The Lok Sabha Ethics Committee has recommended the expulsion of TMC MP Mahua Moitra as it tabled its report on Friday. The team headed by BJP lawmaker Vinod Kumar called for “severe punishment” as well as a government inquiry in its report. Moitra is facing allegations that she took cash and other gifts from a business house to ask questions in Parliament.
“In view of highly objectionable, unethical, heinous and criminal conduct of Mahua Moitra, the Committee recommends for an intense, legal, institutional inquiry by the Government of India in a time-bound manner,” the lengthy report added.
The TMC leader can be expelled if the House votes in favour of the panel’s recommendation.
