    Parliament Winter Session: Ethics committee to submit report on Moitra

    What's the story

    The Parliament Winter Session is set to begin on Monday and conclude on December 22.

    The first order of business for the Centre and the opposition on the opening day is likely a discussion on the cash-for-query controversy involving Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra.

    Notably, Lok Sabha Ethics Committee chief Vinod Kumar Sonkar will reportedly present the first report on Moitra in the House.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Moitra is facing expulsion from the House in the cash-for-query row based on the Ethics Committee's recommendation for violating the rules of conduct.

    The controversy erupted after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey alleged she accepted bribes from businessman Darshan Hiranandani to ask questions, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Adani Group, in the Parliament.

    Dubey made a formal complaint based on certain documents furnished by Supreme Court lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai, Moitra's former partner.

    What Next?

    Parliamentary Ethics Committee's report on Moitra's cash-for-query case

    According to NDTV, the Ethics Committee examining the matter, in its report, labeled Moitra's alleged actions "highly objectionable, unethical, heinous and criminal."

    Furthermore, it stated that the TMC MP should not be allowed to continue as a parliamentarian and suggested terminating her Lok Sabha membership.

    On the other hand, Moitra has denied all the charges leveled against her.

    Details

    Recalling Mamata Banerjee's previous remarks on row

    Speaking about the controversy surrounding Moitra, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee earlier claimed that a planned attempt was being made to drop the TMC leader from Lok Sabha.

    "Mahua Moitra's expulsion from Lok Sabha is being planned, but this will help her before (next year's Lok Sabha) polls," claimed the Bengal chief minister last month.
