Sanjay Raut also exuded confidence in winning the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
"It is an attempt to demoralise her. BJP is destroying the Opposition, but they'll not come to power in 2024, I-N-D-I-A bloc will come," Sanjay Raut said.
This comes after, Nishikant Dubey, BJP MP, on Sunday wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla alleging TMC MP Mahua Moitra to be involved in "cash for query" and demanded an inquiry committee against her, reported ANI.
Dubey called for her "immediate suspension" from the House alleging that "bribes were exchanged between her and businessman Darshan Hiranandani to ask questions in Parliament in exchange for cash and gifts", reported ANI.
In his letter titled "Re-emergence of nasty 'Cash for Query' in Parliament", Dubey has alleged "'serious Breach of Privilege', 'Contempt of the House' and a 'Criminal Offence' under Section 120A of IPC" by the Trinamool Congress MP, reported ANI.
"The allegations that have been brought forward in front of the relevant authorities are serious in nature and echo back to the 'Cash for Query' incident that came forth almost eighteen years ago. The claim that the Member of Parliament representing Krishnanagar gave Darshan Hiranandani and the Hiranandani Conglomerate access to her login credentials for the Lok Sabha website so that they could utilise it for their own personal gain is possibly the most damning and grave of all the charges that are being made against her. If the claims made above are found to be accurate, this constitutes a serious criminal breach of trust as well as a violation of India's national security because it would give unauthorised individuals access to government websites that may contain classified information," he said.
"The alleged sharing of Moitra's Lok Sabha credentials with an external entity poses a direct threat to national security. Access to the Lok Sabha site might provide sensitive, possibly classified, information. Unauthorized access risks exposure of strategic data that could be exploited to undermine India's policy decisions or strategic interests. Moreover, any compromise of the cyber-security protocols, like sharing credentials, weakens the nation's digital infrastructure, making it susceptible to domestic and international cyber threats. This act, if proven, not only threatens data integrity but can set a precedent, endangering the nation's overall security apparatus," Nishikant Dubey added.
Reacting to the complaint, about which Dubey also tweeted, Mahua Moitra said she will welcome any motion once the pending breach of privileges motions against ruling party members are dealt with.
"Multiple breach of privileges pending against fake degreewala & other @BJP4India luminaries. Welcome any motions against me right after the Speaker finishes dealing with those. Also waiting for @dir_ed & others to file FIR in Adani coal scam before coming to my doorstep," Mahua Moitra said in a post on 'X'.
