New Delhi: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday claimed that anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based on his complaint in the 'Cash for Query' row.
In a post on X, Nishikant Dubey said, "Lokpal today, based on my complaint, ordered a CBI inquiry against MP Mahua ji, who committed corruption by mortgaging national security."
Earlier, Dubey lodged a complaint with the Lokpal against the Trinamool Congress leader on October 21.
"(I am) tired of hearing CBI, CBI. I filed a complaint (against Mahua Moitra) with the Lokpal today. The Lokpal is the only authority that is mandated to look into complaints of corruption or impropriety against MPs, ministers, or other people's representatives," Nishikant Dubey said.
Reacting to the news about the CBI initiating the inquiry, Mahua Moitra retorted by once again dragging in the Adani group.
"For media calling me, my answer is: 1. CBI needs to first file FIR on Rs 13,000 crore Adani coal scam 2. The national security issue is how dodgy FPI-owned (inc Chinese and UAE ) Adani firms are buying Indian ports and airports with Home Ministry clearance. Then CBI is welcome to come and count my shoes," Moitra posted on X.
Meanwhile, the Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha, which is investigating the cash-for-query allegations against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, will now meet on November 9 for the "consideration and adoption" of its draft report. (ANI)
