TMC MP Mahua Moitra playing victim card over Ethics panel deposition: BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi

BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi on Friday accused Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra — under investigation on charges that she took cash to ask questions in Parliament — of trying to create a “fake narrative” and “playing the victim card”. She was commenting on Ms. Moitra’s walkout from her deposition to the Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

The deposition ended abruptly, when Ms. Moitra and Opposition members of the panel walked out of the meeting, citing what they termed unethical and puerile questions about the TMC MP’s private life, allegedly posed by the panel’s chairman, BJP MP Vinod Sonkar.
