Mahua Moitra: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated legal proceedings against Mahua Moitra, a former Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader who was ousted from the Lok Sabha last year amid allegations of cash-for-query transactions, according to sources cited by news agency ANI. Moitra’s expulsion from Parliament followed an investigation by the Parliamentary Ethics Committee, which found her culpable of accepting unlawful gifts and gratuities in exchange for posing questions in the lower house of Parliament.

Moitra has vehemently contested the expulsion decision, denouncing it as the outcome of a biased process orchestrated by a prejudiced committee. Recent actions by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), including searches conducted at Moitra’s residences and other locations in Kolkata, have further intensified scrutiny into the allegations against her. The CBI’s involvement was prompted by an order from the Lokpal, which mandated a comprehensive investigation into all aspects of the “cash for query” accusations leveled against Moitra.

Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, a staunch supporter of Moitra, has claimed that the former parliamentarian was ejected from the Lok Sabha due to her vocal opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Banerjee’s defense of Moitra underscores the political significance of the case, which continues to unfold amidst escalating tensions between the ruling BJP and opposition parties.
