Mamata Banerjee has not said anything openly in support of Mahua Moitra in the cash-for-query scam so far. Nonetheless, the recent decision to hand her new responsibility is being seen as tacit support from the party.
Rajdeep Sardesai tried to garner sympathy for Mahua Moitra by claiming that she chose to return to India and serve grassroots politics despite studying at an American University and working as an investment banker.
It has been reported that the Ethics Committee of Lok Sabha will meet on Thursday to adopt a draft report on the cash-for-query allegation against Mahua Moitra.
In his complaint, Advocate Jai Anant stressed that he wished to make it absolutely clear that he had not invited Smt. Moitra to his residence, and that she has come uninvited and with a very apparent intention to commit trespass and to intimidate him.
