Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi: Mahua has accepted charges against her

Soon after the expulsion of TMC MP Mahua Moitra from Lok Sabha, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi was asked about Mahua Moitra not being allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha during the debate despite the Trinamool's request to make her the speaker on behalf of the party during the debate.

To this, Pralhad Joshi talked about the cash-for-query row against Mahua Moitra and said, "Mahua accepted the allegation and she said that she got certain brands' scarf, lipstick, she did not deny all this."

Pralhad Joshi further said that in the Parliament, she asked around 60-65 questions but never asked about her constituency. Joshi further said, "She asked questions for money and it has been proved, she accepted it, what other proof do you want? This is the biggest proof."

He concluded by saying that several TMC MPs are happy with her expulsion.
