"Got Darshan Hiranandani Affidavit": Ethics Committee On Mahua Moitra Case

Speaking exclusively to NDTV, head of the ethics committee Vinod Sonkar said, "We have received Darshan Hiranandanis affidavit, if needed will call Mahua Moitra too."

The Lok Sabha ethics committee today said it has received the affidavit by industrialist Darshan Hiranandani alleging that he bribed Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra to ask questions in the Parliament and will conduct a comprehensive probe into all the charges.

In his affidavit, Mr Hiranandani claimed that he gave bribes to Ms Moitra to get her Parliament login credentials and ask questions in the house. He also claimed she saw attacking the Adani Group as a way to become famous.

BJP's Nishikant Dubey brought forth the allegations in front of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla accusing the Trinamool leader of breach of parliamentary privilege, contempt of the House, and criminal conspiracy.
