New Delhi, Oct 21: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Saturday filed a complaint with the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal against TMC MP Mahua Moitra, accusing her of taking bribes to raise questions in Parliament.
Firing a fresh salvo against her, Dubey said she was in India when her parliamentary ID was used in Dubai and claimed that the National Informatics Centre (NIC) had disclosed the information to probe agencies.
Moitra, whose party has been quiet on the issue, remained combative and kept up her attack on the Adani Group, alleging that charges have been levelled against her at its behest.
She also claimed on X that she had received a message about an impending CBI raid. “I am busy with Durga Puja. I invite CBI to come home & count my pairs of shoes. But first please file FiR into ?13,000 crore coal money Adani stole from Indians,” Moitra said.
Soon after her post, Dubey posted a message in Hindi, saying he was “tired of hearing of CBI, CBI” and has lodged a complaint with Lokpal, which is entrusted with probing the case of corruption against public authorities, including MPs.
“Lokpal oversees the complaints against parliamentarians and ministers. The CBI is its medium,” he said.
Earlier, the BJP leader alleged that “an MP pawned the country’s security for some money.” “The MP’s ID was opened from Dubai when the so-called parliamentarian was in India. The entire Indian government, including the prime minister, finance department and central agencies, use this NIC,” the BJP MP said.
“Does the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition still have to do politics? People will take a decision. The NIC has given this information to probe agency,” Dubey said without naming the agency.
Moitra hit back saying Adani’s dealings are related to national security and “not (an) email ID that every PA & every unchecked intern team of every MP has publicly & accesses at will”.
“Request NIC to please release ALL details of MPs publicly to show they were physically present in place from where IDs were accessed by their PAs & researchers/interns/staff. Don’t use Fake Degree wala for leak, make this public NOW (sic),” she posted on X. (PTI)
