Mahua Moitra wants to ‘cross-examine’ lawyer at ethics panel hearing tomorrow

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra said on Wednesday that she will appear before the Ethics Committee of Lok Sabha on Thursday (November 2) as per the panel’s order in the ongoing cash-for-query row.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she posted a two-page letter, in which she reiterated her demand of “cross-examining” businessman Darshan Hiranandani, who in a “sworn affidavit” alleged the MP of sharing her Parliament login details with him to ask questions in the House.

“Since Ethics Committee deemed it fit to release my summons to the media I think it is important I too release my letter to the Committee before my “hearing” tomorrow,” Moitra wrote on X.
