Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra, expelled from the Lok Sabha amidst 'cash-for-query' allegations, declared, "This Lok Sabha has seen the weaponization of a Parliamentary committee." Moitra accused the ethics committee of acting without proof and becoming a tool to "thok do" the opposition into submission. She emphasized, "You are finding me guilty of breaching a code of ethics that does not exist." Opposition leaders joined in condemning the expulsion, with Mamata Banerjee expressing shock and alleging the Centre's destruction of constitutional rights. The controversy raises concerns about the parliamentary committee's role and political clashes.
