New Delhi: A day ahead of appearing before the Parliament Ethics committee, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has once again targeted TMC MP Mahua Moitra. In a reply to the Trinamool Congress MP's remarks against him, Bharatiya Janata Party Member MP Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday said that the question is not about Adani, Degree or theft, but about corruption by misleading the country.
"The question is about the dignity of Parliament, the security of India and the propriety, corruption and criminality of the alleged MP. The answer has to be given whether NIC mail is open in Dubai or not. Ask questions in exchange for money or not. Who bore the expenses of travelling abroad? Did you get permission from @loksabhaspeaker and @MEAIndia to go abroad or not? The question is not about Adani, degree or theft, but about your corruption by misleading the country," Nishikant Dubey posted on X.
"Degree wali desh beche, chand paise ke le jamir beche (Those with degrees sell the country and sell their conscience for money)," he alleged.
The charge by Nishikant Dubey follows Mahua Moitra's dig at him after Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw assured Dubey that his complaint on misuse of Parliament login credentials would be looked into.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Mahua said, "Who is lying? 2 days ago Fake Degree Wala said NIC already given details including "Dubai" logins to probe agency. Now Ashwini Vaishnaw says NIC will give info in future IF asked by LS or Ethics Comm. BJP is welcome to do a hit job on me but Adani+Godda perhaps not the best strategists!"
Earlier on Tuesday, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw wrote a letter to BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and said that the issues raised by the Lok Sabha MP in the alleged 'Cash for query' scandal are of grave importance.
"Matters related to user access, website policy, etc. are within the purview of organisations that avail services from NIC. In the case of the Lok Sabha website, the organisation availing services from NIC is the Lok Sabha Secretariat, under the control of the Speaker, Lok Sabha. The issues raised in your letter are undoubtedly of grave importance.
The subject matter of your letter is currently under investigation by the Committee on Ethics (Lok Sabha)," Vaishnaw's letter shared by Nishikant Dubey on X read.
Dubey had written to Ashwani Vaishanaw and Rajeev Chandrasekhar calling for the ministers to probe if the TMC MP's login credentials had been used outside India.
The BJP MP had earlier also written to Lok Sabha speaker alleging the involvement of Mahua Moitra in the 'Cash for Query' scandal. He further claimed that he had proof of the charges as given to him by Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai.
The Parliament Ethics Committe has called Dubey and Dehadrai to appear before it on Thursday to submit oral evidence of these allegations.
Meanwhile, amid the controversy over the alleged "Cash for Query" scandal, Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Tuesday said that sharing information linked to Parliament is a national security issue, along with corruption.
"National security is an important issue. Sharing information that is linked to Parliament or any other information that might create trouble is a national security issue, along with corruption," Anurag Thakur said. (ANI)
