- An Ethics Committee report on cash-for-query allegations against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra is expected in the Lok Sabha today.
- If tabled, the report, which recommends Ms Moitra be expelled, will trigger an explosive stand-off between the ruling BJP and the opposition, which has demanded a division of votes to determine the Trinamool leader’s immediate political future.
- Mahua Moitra, who can only be expelled if the House votes in favour of the Ethics Committee’s report, which declared it found her actions “highly objectionable, unethical, heinous and criminal”.
- The BJP, though, is believed to be well-prepped and a three-line whip (the strictest possible) was issued to its MPs; this means they are expected to be present and vote in line with the party’s position.
- The report was to have been tabled on Monday, the opening day of this session of Parliament, which concludes on December 22.
