TMC MP Mahua Moitra expelled from Lok Sabha over allegations she took money to ask questions in parliament

The Indian parliament Lok Sabha expelled Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Friday after its Ethics Committee tabled its report recommending so over allegations she took money to ask questions in parliament.

Speaker Om Birla did not allow Moitra to speak. After giving members of parliament only two hours to read the 104-page report after it was tabled, a 30-minute discussion was scheduled for 3 pm today, The Wire reported. However, Moitra’s expulsion was announced within just a few minutes of debate starting, and not even the entirety of the small slot allotted was used.
