Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra’s Parliament account was reportedly accessed 47 times from Dubai.

This came as Moitra is set to appear before the Lok Sabha’s Ethics Committee, probing BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s cash-for-query allegations against her.

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.

“If this news is true, then all the MPs of the country should stand against Mahua ji’s corruption. Hiranandani asked questions in Lok Sabha for Hiranandani. Are we MPs for promoting selfish interests of capitalists,” Dubey said on X.

Speaking to India Today, Moitra admitted that she shared her log-in credentials with businessman Darshan Hiranandani, a longtime close friend. However, she denied any financial motive and affirmed that the questions raised using her account were exclusively her own.

As per the report, she also undertook 14 unaccounted overseas trips during her tenure as a Member of Parliament.
