Mahua Moitra moves Supreme Court against expulsion as Lok Sabha MP

Days after she was expelled as a Lok Sabha MP in connection with the 'cash-for-query' case, TMC leader Mahua Moitra has approached the Supreme Court. Moitra, in her plea, said the decision to expel her was "illegal".

On December 8, Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha after the House adopted the report of its Ethics Committee that held her guilty of accepting gifts and illegal gratification from businessman Darshan Hiranandani to further his interest. The TMC leader has vehemently denied the allegations.
