The Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra is recently under investigation for “frequent demands” including “expensive luxury items” and providing support on the renovation of her officially allotted bungalow in Delhi, travel expenses, holidays, etc, apart from providing secretarial and logistical help for her travels within India and to different parts of the world, as mentioned in the Affidavit submitted by Darshan Hiranandani (a Dubai based businessmen). In response to the affidavit, Mahua Moitra wrote: “Why would one of India’s most respected/educated businessman sign a letter like this on white paper unless a gun was put to his head to do it,” questioning the legality of the affidavit.

 

 

Now, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has reacted to the ongoing issue. He said: “When we go to Parliament, we go as people’s representatives. We raise people’s questions — wherever we get these questions from. If the government has any answer, it gives. Otherwise, it does not. But I have never seen such promptness in forming an Ethics Committee and starting an investigation.” (As quoted by Hindustan Times)

Staying incognito to the matter, Adhir said: “I don’t know exactly what happened. But in general, what I can say is that every MP has the right to speak in Parliament. And the ruling party wants to throttle everyone inside and outside Parliament. Based on this, I feel the issue is rai ka pahaad (mountain out of a molehill). If anyone speaks against that industrialist, the government gets rattled. This should also be investigated. The government has all the agencies.”

Adhir said the central led BJP government is stressed since the name of an industrialist is being popped up, the same happened in the case of Rahul Gandhi.

TMC’s general secretary, Kunal Ghosh, said the party will not react to the issue and the party has not yet issued any statement regarding the same.
