Opposition members of the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee on Thursday stormed out of a meeting along with Mahua Moitra, accusing the panel’s chairperson of asking the TMC MP personal and unethical questions. “We found the ethics committee chairperson’s questions to Moitra undignified and unethical,” Congress MP and panel member N Uttam Kumar Reddy told reporters after the walkout. Opposition members of the committee, which had asked Moitra to depose before it in connection with allegations of “gifts-for-query” against her, also questioned the manner in which the meeting was conducted. The committee continued with its deliberations even after the protest.
