‘Souls of Gandhi and Ambedkar must be weeping’: The Left ecosystem suffer a meltdown after Mahua Moitra’s expulsion from Lok Sabha
‘Souls of Gandhi and Ambedkar must be weeping’: The Left ecosystem suffer a meltdown after Mahua Moitra’s expulsion from Lok Sabha

In a surprising turn of events, the Lok Sabha witnessed heated discussions and emotional responses as TMC's Krishnanagar MP, Mahua Moitra, faced expulsion following the damning report presented by the Ethics Committee. The report, uncovering allegations of corruption and bribery, triggered a series of reactions that echoed far beyond the parliamentary chambers.

The expulsion of Mahua Moitra unfolded after the Ethics Committee deliberated on the findings of its report, sparking a parliamentary debate. The culmination was a vote that sealed the fate of the former TMC MP. This unprecedented decision sent shockwaves through the political landscape, leaving many to ponder the consequences.

The aftermath of Moitra's expulsion saw a remarkable response from the left-liberal ecosystem in both politics and media. The reactions were not mere expressions of disagreement; they resembled a collective emotional unraveling. BSP MP Danish Ali, expressing his sentiments, remarked, "Gandhi must be weeping." This poignant statement encapsulated the depth of emotions running through the political corridors.

As news of the expulsion spread, so did the emotional reactions from various quarters of the media. The term "meltdown" accurately describes the visceral response, with even so-called neutral journalists openly showcasing their reactions. The intensity of the media's response was palpable, indicating the profound impact of Moitra's expulsion on the political discourse.

In a predictable yet dramatic sequence of events, opposition leaders chose to stage a customary walkout from the Lok Sabha following the adoption of a motion to expel Mahua Moitra, the beleaguered MP ensnared in a corruption scandal. As the echoes of dissent reverberated through the parliamentary halls, Moitra emerged with a prepared speech, attempting to downplay the severity of the accusations leveled against her.

Undeterred by the expulsion, Mahua Moitra opted to read her prepared defense outside the parliament premises. With a seemingly brazen demeanor, she questioned the grounds for her removal, asserting that there is no established rule for expelling an MP for the seemingly trivial act of sharing login credentials with a businessman. Moitra vehemently denied any evidence supporting allegations of receiving lavish gifts from Hiranandani, challenging the very foundation of the accusations.

Adding to the theatricality, BSP MP Danish Ali contributed his own dose of melodrama. Expressing his dismay, he exclaimed, "What is this? The dignity of the parliament house was breached on the night of 21st September when Ramesh Bidhuri abused me. Soul of Gandhi and Ambedkar must be weeping today." This theatrical lament painted a vivid picture of the perceived injustice befalling Moitra, invoking the spirits of iconic leaders to emphasize the magnitude of the situation.

TMC MP Saugata Roy, not one to be left out of the theatrical narrative, asserted that Moitra's expulsion was a clear violation of principles of natural justice. According to Roy, a sitting member was ousted without being granted the opportunity to defend herself, a move he dubbed as a blatant disregard for established norms. Roy further stirred the pot by suggesting that the BJP, wielding its "animal majority," orchestrated Moitra's removal merely because of her outspoken remarks on industrialist Adani and his alleged connections with Prime Minister Modi.

As the echoes of Mahua Moitra's expulsion reverberated through the parliamentary halls, TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay entered the stage, decrying the decision with a theatrical flair. With a hint of sarcasm, he proclaimed, "They tried to suppress the voice of opposition. Would you not listen to the one who is accused of so many severe allegations? This never happens." Bandyopadhyay rallied the I.N.D.I. alliance, suggesting a united front against what they perceived as an injustice—an episode they deemed a "huge day."

In true Mahua Moitra fashion, known for her tedious and boorish monologues in the parliament, the ex-MP wasted no time in launching another noisy rant outside the Parliament premises. With Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi as a silent supporter in the background, Moitra vehemently declared her innocence, stating that there was no evidence of cash or gifts changing hands. The theatricality reached new heights as Moitra brazenly defended her act of sharing login credentials with Darshan Hiranandani, emphasizing that no specific rule prohibits such an action.

Moitra's defense took a surreal turn as she argued that sharing login credentials with a businessman to pose questions against a rival business entity was not ethically wrong. In her exuberance, she boldly asserted that MPs are there to raise questions on behalf of the public, implying that aligning with the interests of a businessman was simply a strategic move within the realm of parliamentary duties.

Adding a layer of satire to the spectacle, journalist Arfa Khanum Sherwani took to social media to share her enthusiasm for Moitra's dramatic statements. Quoting Moitra's sentences, Sherwani expressed getting goosebumps watching the ex-MP's impassioned defense. In a seemingly defiant stance, she declared, "I am 49 years old. I will fight you for the next 30 years. Inside the parliament, and outside on the streets. We are going to come back, and we are going to see the end of you. Goosebumps!" This enthusiastic endorsement of Moitra's theatrics further fueled the narrative, turning the entire episode into a prolonged political drama.

In the aftermath of Mahua Moitra's expulsion, the virtual world exploded with expressions of outrage and dismay, and social media became the stage for a dramatic display of opinions.

Saba Naqvi, echoing the sentiments of many, took to her X handle, exclaiming, "Without due process and being given a chance to defend herself Mahua Moitra is expelled. Shameful." This outcry mirrored the prevailing narrative that Moitra was unfairly treated, painting a picture of injustice and disregard for proper procedure.

Contrary to the facts, the left-liberal ecosystem perpetuated a different narrative, asserting that Moitra was denied a chance to defend herself. In reality, Moitra did have an opportunity to present her case before the ethics committee of the parliament. The deliberate spreading of misinformation became a comedic element in the grand saga, highlighting the lengths to which some were willing to go to shape a particular narrative.

India Today journalist Rajdeep Sardesai added fuel to the fire with his post on X, stating, "So a 104-page ethics committee report is tabled in Mahua Moitra case at noon; at 2 pm, a 'debate' is scheduled within two hours of the report being tabled. An hour later, the TMC MP is formally expelled by voice vote without being given a chance to speak or any of the MPs having even a chance to read the report in any detail and respond." Sardesai questioned the haste and lack of detailed examination, raising concerns about natural justice and due process. The tone of his post added a touch of theatricality to the unfolding narrative, portraying the expulsion as a rushed and unjust decision.

In a significant turn of events, the Ethics Committee's report delving into the 'Unethical Conduct' of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra in the "cash for query" case took center stage earlier today. The report, presented in the Lok Sabha, not only recommended Moitra's potential expulsion but also called for a comprehensive government inquiry, adding layers of complexity to the unfolding political drama.

The report left no room for ambiguity, asserting, "The serious misdemeanours on the part of Mahua Moitra calls for severe punishment. The Committee, therefore, recommends that Mahua Moitra, MP may be expelled from the Membership of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha." This straightforward recommendation signaled a no-nonsense approach to what the committee deemed as severe transgressions on Moitra's part, elevating the stakes in the unfolding narrative.

Expanding the scope of the drama, the report called for an "intense, legal, institutional inquiry by the Government of India in a time-bound manner." The language used in the report reflected a sense of urgency, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of what was described as "highly objectionable, unethical, heinous, and criminal conduct" attributed to Moitra. This call for a government inquiry indicated a broader perspective, positioning the issue not just as a parliamentary concern but as a matter of national significance that warranted a thorough investigation.

As the political storm around Mahua Moitra's 'cash for query' case continues, the Ethics Committee has not only recommended her expulsion but also expanded its scope to investigate the 'money trail' of cash transactions between Moitra and Darshan Hiranandani, citing a possible 'quid pro quo' arrangement.

The committee's report emphatically stated, "The 'money trail' of cash transaction between Smt Mahua Moitra and Shri Darshan Hiranandani as a part of 'quid pro quo' should be investigated by the Government of India in a legal, institutional, and time-bound manner." This development introduces a new layer of complexity to the case, suggesting that the financial transactions between Moitra and Hiranandani may hold crucial information about the alleged improprieties.

In addition to the focus on Mahua Moitra, the Ethics Committee's report also addressed the unruly conduct of Bahujan Samaj Party MP Kunwar Danish Ali. The committee recommended that Ali be 'admonished' for distorting the intent of a question posed by the Ethics Committee Chairperson to Moitra on November 2.

"Kunwar Danish Ali, MP and Member of the Committee on Ethics should be 'admonished' for twisting/moulding the intent of the question put forth by the Chairperson, Committee on Ethics to Smt Mahua Moitra during her deposition on 2 November, 2023," the report specified. The committee accused Ali of attempting to incite public sentiments and disparaging the self-esteem of the Chairperson and other members, highlighting a breach of parliamentary rules.

Amidst a chaotic atmosphere, the Ethics Committee submitted its explosive report on the 'cash-for-query' case, marked by TMC MPs raising slogans like "haye, haye..." The ruckus in the house set the stage for a dramatic unveiling of the findings that have reverberated through the political landscape.

The 500-page report, stemming from allegations made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, recommended the expulsion of TMC MP Mahua Moitra from the 17th Lok Sabha. The committee, describing her conduct as "highly objectionable, unethical, heinous and criminal," presented a compelling case for severe consequences. The controversy surrounding Moitra's alleged actions reached a crescendo as the Ethics Committee's findings were officially submitted.

The report delves into the specifics of Moitra's alleged misdeeds in the cash-for-questions case. It discloses that she made four trips to the UAE between 2019 and 2023, coinciding with instances of her login being accessed multiple times. This revelation adds a layer of detail to the accusations, suggesting a pattern of behavior that the committee found to be in violation of ethical and legal norms.

The draft report, adopted by a 6:4 majority in the panel last month, reflects the committee's collective stance on Moitra's conduct. Notably, Congress MP Preneet Kaur, who had earlier faced suspension from the party, joined five others in voting in favor of the report. The presence of dissenting notes from four panel members belonging to opposition parties underscores the divisive nature of the committee's findings, amplifying the political drama surrounding the case.

In the aftermath of the Ethics Committee's explosive report recommending Mahua Moitra's expulsion, opposition members wasted no time in terming it a "fixed match." They asserted that the complaint filed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, which served as the basis for the investigation, lacked any supporting "shred of evidence." This characterization set the stage for a contentious debate over the legitimacy of the findings.

Mahua Moitra, in response to the allegations, appeared before the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee on November 2 to address the cash-for-query accusations leveled against her. Alongside opposition members of the panel, she chose to "walk out" of the meeting, signaling a collective dissent. The circumstances surrounding Moitra's appearance before the committee added fuel to the opposition's claims of procedural irregularities.

Opposition members within the Ethics Committee voiced concerns over the line of questioning during Moitra's deposition. They alleged that "personal questions" were posed to the Trinamool Congress MP, suggesting a departure from the expected protocol of inquiry. These objections further fueled the narrative that the entire process was biased and aimed at tarnishing Moitra's image.

The controversy surrounding Moitra deepened as it was revealed that she is facing a CBI inquiry over serious allegations of corruption and bribery. Moitra herself admitted to providing her login credentials to businessman Darshan Hiranandani, enabling him to pose questions related to his business interests, targeting his rival Adani Group. Hiranandani, in turn, confirmed paying cash, offering lavish gifts to Moitra, and having access to her Lok Sabha login credentials.

The allegations and admissions paint a complex picture, with the opposition vehemently opposing the Ethics Committee's report. As the political drama unfolds, the clash of narratives and the gravity of the accusations contribute to the uncertainty surrounding Mahua Moitra's political future.

In the cosmic theater of karma, where deeds unfold with the precision of a cosmic ballet, the recent antics of Mahua Moitra and her cronies from the opposition resemble a farcical play. Their histrionic displays outside the parliamentary chambers, akin to a poorly directed comedy, only serve to expose the absurdity of their true intentions.

As the Ethics Committee's recommendation for Mahua Moitra's expulsion echoes through the political landscape, one can't help but reflect on the ancient wisdom that every action begets a reaction. The opposition's desperate cries of a "fixed match" are merely the discordant notes in a symphony of their own creation. Karma, like an unyielding director, ensures that the spotlight reveals the true character of each performer.

Mahua Moitra's stormy appearance before the Ethics Committee becomes a Shakespearean tragedy of her own making. The admission of wrongdoing, handing over login credentials for ulterior motives, is a twist in the plot that even the most imaginative playwright couldn't conceive. The Ganges, a symbol of purity and sanctity, seems to recoil at the metaphorical snake charmers polluting its waters with deceit.

These opposition leaders, engaging in a serpentine dance of anti-India geopolitics, are not just performers; they are the unwitting subjects of their own karmic unraveling. The public, once passive spectators, now witnesses the unraveling drama with a discerning eye. The stage lights are harsh, revealing not heroic figures fighting for justice, but opportunistic snakes entangled in a web of their own making.

As the opposition's dramatic script unfolds, the cosmic laughter of karma reverberates. The karma of selling oneself for anti-India geopolitics is a heavy burden, and the public, armed with awareness, stands as the final judge in this theater of absurdity. The opposition leaders, like snakes in the Ganges, may find that their slithering maneuvers lead not to triumph but to the inevitable consequences of their actions – a bitter taste of karmic justice.
