Mahua Moitra sent notice to vacate official residence within 30 days of expulsion from Lok Sabha, reports Reveal
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra has been in the news for quite some time because of the Cash-for-Query case. In this case, Moitra has been expelled from Lok Sabha as an MP and now, according to sources, the political leader has received a notice to vacate her official residence in the next thirty days. Mahua Moitra has also moved the Supreme Court challenging her expulsion from Lok Sabha as an MP. This comes after the Trinamool Congress leader was found guilty of taking gifts and cash from a businessman to raise questions in Parliament to corner the Narendra Modi-led BJP government.
Mahua Moitra sent a message to vacate the official residence
As mentioned earlier, Mahua Moitra has reportedly been issued a notice to vacate her official residence in New Delhi within 30 days. This comes after the leader’s expulsion from Lok Sabha in the Cash-For-Query case as an MP for ‘unethical behaviour’.
TMC leader moves Supreme Court
Mahua Moitra moved the Supreme Court a day after her expulsion from Lok Sabha as an MP in connection with the cash-for-query case. After being expelled, Moitra lashed out at the Ethics Panel for ‘acting without evidence’ and also said it was becoming a ‘weapon’ to ‘bulldoze’ the opposition.
“The ‘money trail’ of cash transactions between Smt Mahua Moitra and Shri Darshan Hiranandani as part of ‘quid pro quo’ needs to be investigated by the Government of India in a legal, institutional and time-bound manner,” the report said. It said that a “well-worn investigation” had established beyond reasonable doubt that Moitra had “deliberately” shared her Lok Sabha credentials with businessman Darshan Hiranandani. “Therefore, Smt Mahua Moitra is guilty of unethical conduct, violation of her privileges available to Members of Parliament and contempt of the House.”
Mahua Moitra reacts after expulsion as MP
After her expulsion as an MP for “unethical conduct”, Moitra lashed out at the government saying the Ethics Commission has no power to expel and this is the beginning of the end of the BJP. Moitra sharply criticized the decision, likening it to a conviction by a “kangaroo court” and accused the government of arming parliamentary panels to bully the opposition into submission.
Moitra said: “There is no evidence anywhere, no money, no gift. Expulsion is based on the fact that I shared my Lok Sabha portal login. There are no rules for sharing the login. As the Ethics Committee hearing shows, we as parliamentarians are all assembly lines to get questions from the public, from citizens to express them in Parliament.’
