The Ethics Committee of Lok Sabha met for the first time to address the cash-for-query charges against TMC MP Mahua Moitra
The sensational charges were levelled against Mahua by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who along with Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai appeared before the panel.
Following the first meeting, the MP while speaking to reporters said, "I will give all the information that the Committee asks me to provide. I will appear before the Committee whenever it asks me to. I will submit all the documents, the truth is in the documents"
When asked about Mahua's allegations that Dubey submitted a fake degree in his election nomination papers, the BJP MP said that there is only one question "Mahua chor hai ki Nahi" (Is Mahua a thief or not?)"
Alleging 'direct involvement', the BJP MP along with Jai Anant Dehadrai submitted oral evidence in the matter to the panel.
