‘47 log-ins to Mahua Moitra’s parliamentary account from Dubai’

NEW DELHI: With TMC MP Mahua Moitra set to appear before the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee on Thursday, sources privy to the matter alleged that nearly 47 log-ins to her parliamentary account were made from Dubai. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has accused Moitra of asking questions, which were keyed in through her parliamentary account, at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in return for bribes and favours from the Dubai-based scion of a well-known business family. Moitra has admitted that she shared her log-in credentials with Hiranandani, whom she has described as a close friend for a long time, but has ruled out any pecuniary motivation and asserted that the questions were always hers. Dubey has accused her of compromising national interest by sharing her parliamentary portal log-in and password with an outsider, and has cited the agreement MPs sign to keep the details secret to demand action against her.
