Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has moved the Supreme Court days after being expelled from the Lok Sabha over the 'cash-for-query' controversy. On December 8, the House adopted the Ethics Panel report finding Moitra guilty of accepting illegal gratification to promote a businessman's interests. Moitra denied the charges and accused the committee of "bulldozing" her without proof. She claimed being denied a chance to defend herself when the report was tabled and permission to cross-examine her estranged partner and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey who levied the allegations. The West Bengal leader stated the panel disregarded rules and said her expulsion was unjustified without establishing the bribery charges.
