Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has referred BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's "bribe-for-query" complaint against Trinamool Congress member Mahua Moitra to the Ethics Committee of the Lower House.
Mr. Dubey has accused Moitra of taking "bribes" from a businessman to ask questions in Parliament and urged Mr. Birla to constitute an "inquiry committee" to look into the charges against her.
Ms. Moitra has hit back, saying she “welcomes any move against her after the Lok Sabha Speaker is finished dealing with pending charges against him (Dubey)“.
