TMC MP Mahua Moitra expelled from Lok Sabha; equates it to 'hanging by kangaroo court'

IndiaTimes Friday, 8 December 2023
Lok Sabha expels Trinamool Congress member Mahua Moitra from the House after adopting the Ethics Committee report that found her guilty of 'unethical conduct' for accepting cash and gifts from a businessman in exchange for asking questions in the House. Moitra equates the action with a 'kangaroo court' and accuses the parliamentary panel of being weaponized by the government. The opposition parties back Moitra, and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee supports her as well. The Ethics panel also accuses Moitra of sharing her Lok Sabha credentials with unauthorized persons, impacting national security.
