The Lok Sabha witnessed a heated debate Friday on an Ethics Committee report recommending Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra’s expulsion<\/strong> in the cash-for-query issue.<\/p>\n Participating in the debate, Congress member Manish Tewari contended the report of the Ethics Committee was ‘fundamentally flawed’ as it did not have the powers to recommend the expulsion of a member.<\/p>\n “The Congress member said the Ethics Committee at best can make recommendations and not decide whether a person was guilty or innocent. It is this House sitting as a jury which has the power to decide the quantum of punishment,” Tewari argued.<\/p>\n The Congress member said it was for the first time in his 31 years as a practicing lawyer that he was arguing in haste without reading the documents completely.<\/p>\n “Heavens would not have fallen if we were given 3-4 days to read the report and then discuss it as the matter is sensitive,”Tewari said and also insisted that Moitra be allowed to present her side.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
