Congress MP Uttam Kumar Reddy said, ‘We found the questions asked by the Ethics Committee Chairman to Moitra indecent and unethical.’ Mahua Moitra pleaded innocent to the allegations leveled against her and told the parliamentary committee that the allegations were made by lawyer Jay.

For your information, let us tell you that this entire matter started with the allegations of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey. Recently, Nishikant Dubey had accused TMC MP Mahua Moitra of taking bribe from a businessman to ask questions in Parliament. There was a demand from Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to form a committee to investigate the allegations against him. In the letter written to Birla, Nishikant Dubey had described a case of serious ‘breach of privilege’ and ‘contempt of the House’.
