Spat between TMC’s Mahua Moitra and BJP’s Nishikant Dubey continues

Firing a fresh salvo, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, without naming TMC MP Mahua Moitra, said that a Parliamentarian’s login ID for the Lok Sabha was opened from Dubai while the MP was in India, endangering India’s national security. In response, Ms. Moitra demanded that details of locations from where the parliamentarians’ log-in IDs were accessed and where they were present should be made public.

The Ethics Committee headed by BJP MP Vinod Kumar Sonkar will hold its first meeting on the case on October 26. Both Mr. Dubey, who filed the complaint accusing Ms. Moitra of availing pecuniary benefits in exchange for asking questions on behalf of the Hiranandani Group, and Ms. Moitra’s former partner, advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, who provided the evidence to Mr. Dubey, have been called for the first meeting. 

Mr. Dehadrai, meanwhile, has written to Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora complaining of a threat to his life, requesting the Delhi Police to extend protection to him. Mr. Dehadrai claimed that he has been receiving “multiple strange messages from unknown numbers”, and calls from unregistered numbers, and has had people barge into his residence ever since he filed his complaint against Ms. Moitra to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and to Mr. Dubey.
