‘Personal questions’: TMC MP Mahua Moitra, opposition storm out of ethics panel meeting

The Lok Sabha ethics panel’s attempt to record Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra’s statement in the “cash for query” scandal ended on a stormy note as opposition members and Moitra walked out, accusing the chairman of asking “personal and unethical questions”. Moitra wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, alleging a breach of her privacy and asking for protection. The committee chairman countered the allegations, stating that objectionable language was used and further action would be taken. Moitra also noted that five members of the committee had walked out in protest.
