<p>After a heated debate over the panel report during which Moitra was not allowed to speak, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi moved a motion to expel the Trinamool member for "unethical conduct", which was adopted by a voice vote.</p>

<p>There is no proposal under the consideration of the government to make provision for paid menstrual leave mandatory for all workplaces, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani informed Lok Sabha on Friday.</p>

'Don't upload questions myself': Giridhari Yadav, who is part of Moitra ethics panel, slams BJP

<p>Yadav said this while participating in a debate on the report of the ethics committee in the Lok Sabha.</p>

<p>Janata Dal (United) MP Giridhari Yadav on Friday said he does not upload questions on the Lok Sabha's website himself as he does not know how to operate a computer, as the Lower House decided to expel Trinamool Congress (TMC) member Mahua Moitra over the allegation that she shared her log-in credentials with outsiders and took a bribe for asking questions.</p>
<p>Yadav, who is a member of the Lok Sabha's ethics panel and was among the opposition MPs who staged a walkout from the committee meeting alleging that Moitra was asked personal and irrelevant questions, took a jibe at the ruling dispensation and questioned why BJP MP Nishikant Dubey was called for questioning while businessman Darshan Hiranandani was not.</p>
<p>He said this while participating in a debate on the report of the ethics committee in the Lok Sabha. The report was adopted and the House voted for expelling Moitra after the opposition members walked out.</p>
<p>"I do not upload my questions myself.... My PS (personal secretary) does it. I do not know how to operate a computer ... so my staff does that for me. I do not even remember my own password," the JD(U) leader said.</p>
<p>"This time I did not give any questions out of fear.... We are being intimidated," he added.</p>
<p>Speaker Om Birla objected to Yadav's comments.</p>
<p>"I request all members to prepare their own questions. This is against the norms. I can take action against members who do not prepare their own questions," Birla said.</p>
<p>Yadav said ethics panel chairperson Vinod Sonkar had said Hiranandani, who made the allegation through an affidavit that he paid a bribe to Moitra, would be called for examination but was not called eventually.</p>
<p>"It is the misfortune of this House that honourable Nishikantji was called for cross (examination), but Darshan Hiranandani was not called. If an affidavit can be trusted, why mistrust Nishikantji? "The ethics panel chairman had said Hiranandani would be called.... We call MPs but do not call capitalists who make allegations," he said.</p>
<p>The Lok Sabha expelled Moitra on Friday after holding her guilty of sharing her website log-in credentials with others and accepting gifts from a businessman to extend favours.</p>
<p>After a heated debate during which Moitra was not allowed to speak, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi moved a motion to expel the TMC leader for "unethical conduct", which was adopted by a voice vote.</p>
<p>The opposition members walked out of the House as the speaker started the voting process on the motion moved by Joshi.</p>
<p>The Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha had recommended Moitra's expulsion from the House over the "cash-for-query" allegation.</p>

Karti Chidambaram questioned the contradiction in expelling Mahua Moitra from Lok Sabha despite a committee finding her "criminal," suggesting the subsequent call for an inquiry was contradictory, likening it to a technicality in cricket.

Karti Chidambaram invokes Angelo Mathews timeout to slam Mahua expulsion

<p>Karti Chidambaram questioned the contradiction in expelling Mahua Moitra from Lok Sabha despite a committee finding her "criminal," suggesting the subsequent call for an inquiry was contradictory, likening it to a technicality in cricket.</p>

<p>Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Friday slammed the expulsion of TMC MP Mahua Moitra from Lok Sabha. <br><br>While speaking to ANI, Karti Chidambaram said,&nbsp; "The committee concluded that she is criminal, but then recommended an intense legal institutional inquiry by the Government of India in a time-bound manner. After finding somebody criminal, why are you asking for an inquiry? This recommendation itself is completely contradictory. The person who drafted it has to read it again."</p>
<p>He even compared her expulsion to a Bangladesh-Sri Lanka match and said, "there was a match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Angelo Matthews was timed out because Shaqib ul Hassan appealed against it according to the law. It was correct, but it was against the spirit of cricket."</p>
<p>He further said, "Whatever happened, they might act as if it's under the law under procedure.But what they did was unethical. Please understand one thing in India, people don't mind if you defeat your opponent, but they don't like it when you humiliate your opponent."</p>

<p>Ali said, "Commitee also mentioned about me in one of the recommendations because I am standing there for the justice of Mahua Moitra."</p>
<p>He further said that everyone saw that Ramesh Bidhuri crossed the line and what he did but the Parliamentary Committee is not ashamed of that. Danish Ali also said that the boundaries of Parliament were crossed on September 21 when Ramesh Bidhuri hurled abuses at him.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The opposition leader also said, "On one side, the whole world saw how Ramesh Bidhuri (a BJP Lok Sabha MP) acted... was there no sense of honour or decorum in Parliament then? Why now? What is this?"</p>
<p>He also said, 'today Gandhi and Ambedkar's soul must be crying.'</p>
