BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who had accused Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra of «asking questions in the Lok Sabha in exchange for cash and gifts,» has leveled fresh allegations on TMC MP.

In response to Moitra's media interactions, Nishikant Dubey expressed his decision to abstain from engaging with the media to uphold the Parliament's dignity.
He emphasized the significance of the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee's investigation into the alleged acceptance of money and potential threats to national security. Dubey stressed the confidentiality of the committee's proceedings, highlighting that the accused appeared to have time for media interviews but remained unavailable to fulfill her commitment to the committee.
«I appeal to all respected colleagues in the media to understand that the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee is investigating the issue of accepting money and compromising national security.
What the committee has received is confidential. The accused does not have time to appear before the committee, but there is ample time to give interviews in the media.
I have not given any interviews to the media on this matter to date; it concerns the dignity of Parliament,» Dubey said in a post on X.
Referring to businessman Darshan Hiranandani's affidavit in his post on X on Sunday, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey also said that Hiranandacknowledged his close relationship with TMC MP, as per an ANI report.
