New Delhi:
The Ethics Committee of the Parliament has summoned Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on November 2 after she sought a fresh date. The committee is probing allegations that Ms Moitra had allowed businessman Darshan Hiranandani to access her parliamentary login to post questions directly for Lok Sabha.
Ms Moitra was earlier asked to depose before the panel on October 31. However, she sought a fresh date for her appearance stating that her October 31 summon was released to the media before the official letter was mailed to her in the evening.
“Chairman, Ethics Comm announced my 31/10 summons on live TV way before official letter emailed to me at 19:20 hrs. All complaints and suo moto affidavits also released to media,” she had said.
The Trinamool MP had said she would appear before the committee immediately after the pre-scheduled programmes in her constituency end on November 4.
But the Ethics Committee decided November 2 to be the fresh date for her appearance.
