SIBY JEYYA
The Trinamool Congress' mahua moitra was expelled from the lok sabha on friday after the house approved the findings of its ethics committee, which found her guilty of taking gifts and illicit rewards from businessman Darshan Hiranandani to advance his interest. Moitra was found guilty of "unethical conduct" and contempt of the house in the committee report for exchanging her lok sabha credentials - user ID and password of lok sabha Member's Portal - with unauthorized individuals, which had an irreversible impact on national security, according to Joshi.
"The serious misdeeds committed by Smt mahua moitra call for severe punishment." As a result, the Committee recommends that Smt mahua moitra, mp be dismissed from the 17th Lok Sabha. "In light of Smt. Mahua Moitra's highly objectionable, unethical, heinous, and criminal conduct, the Committee recommends that the government of india conduct an intensive, legal, institutional inquiry promptly," the panel report stated.
According to the report, a "threadbare examination" proved without doubt that Moitra "deliberately" exchanged her lok sabha login credentials with businessman Darshan Hiranandani. "Therefore, Smt mahua moitra is guilty of unethical conduct, breach of her privileges available to members of parliament and contempt of the House."
Former lok sabha Secretary General PDT Achary said Moitra might appeal his expulsion to the supreme Court. "Normally, house proceedings cannot be challenged on procedural grounds." Article 122 of the Constitution is unambiguous. It protects the processes from a legal challenge," Achary told The indian Express.
