TMC MP Mahua Moitra walks out of Ethics committee meeting, says was asked unethical questions

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and a group of opposition members made headlines as they dramatically exited a parliamentary ethics committee meeting, where discussions about the cash-for-query matter were taking place. Their decision to leave the meeting was driven by concerns regarding the manner in which the meeting was conducted. Mahua said, they ased "who do you talk to in the night" and such related questions.

The parliamentary ethics committee, headed by Vinod Sonkar, swiftly responded, alleging that Moitra had not been cooperative during her cross-examination and had chosen to walk out to avoid further scrutiny. Moitra and her fellow opposition members also raised complaints about the nature of the questions posed during the session, with some asserting that one MP had leaked meeting details to the media. This development underlines the intense scrutiny surrounding this ongoing controversy.

Within this high-stakes parliamentary encounter, Moitra's earlier statement to the committee emphasized that personal animosity had prompted the complaint about her involvement in alleged cash-for-query activities. The tense situation reportedly escalated during her cross-examination, with a significant portion of her deposition revolving around her past relationship with Jai Anant Dehadrai, a Supreme Court lawyer who had filed the complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
