Cash-for-query: The Lok Sabha ethics committee on Saturday informed Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra that it will entertain no request for extension in date of her appearance before it beyond November 2.
The Ethics Committee is probing allegations against Mahua Moitra that she shared his Parliament log-in credentials with a businessman.
She was earlier summoned by the committee on October 31, however, the TMC MP sought some more time to appear before it following which the committee has now asked her to appear before it on November 2, but added that there won't be any further extension in the case.
In its response, the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee extended the date of appearance by three days, asking her to depose before it on November 2.
The panel is probing BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's allegations that Moitra accepted bribes and favours for asking questions in Lok Sabha at the behest of businessman Hiranandani.
On Thursday, Dubey, and advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai gave "oral evidence" to the panel against the Trinamool Congress MP.
Moitra has said she should be given "a fair hearing and an adequate opportunity to defend myself against the false, malicious and defamatory accusations levelled against me by Shri Dubey and Shri Dehadrai".
