ED sent summons to Mahua Moitra

New Delhi. The Enforcement Directorate has sent a fresh summons to former Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra. Moitra had written a letter asking for some time from ED. She was to appear before the agency today itself in the FEMA case but she did not appear. Therefore ED has issued fresh summons to him. The central agency had issued a summon to Mahua Moitra last week and asked her to appear in the Delhi office on 19 February i.e. today. There are some cases against him under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, in which his statements were to be recorded. Moitra is also facing CBI investigation. She is facing the alleged case of taking cash in exchange for questions in Parliament, in which she has also lost her MP membership. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had made serious allegations against Mahua Moitra and claimed that she asks questions in Parliament to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Adani Group.

Cash works behind this. He used to receive gifts from businessman Darshan Hiranandani. He accused Moitra of playing with national security. It is learned that the ED case is based on the reference of the CBI case. Mahua Moitra had denied all these allegations and said that she was being targeted because she raised questions against the Adani Group. In the month of December, the Lok Sabha Secretariat had canceled his MP membership. Moitra has also filed a petition in the Supreme Court regarding this, in which she has demanded the court to reinstate the MP. Mahua Moitra had said in a tweet in November, “Neither has the Lokpal uploaded any referral order on the website as per the Lokpal Act, nor has the CBI posted anything officially. It is expected that Rs 13,000 crore will be recovered.” Adani coal scam will be with CBI after my witchhunt.
