BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday said that the allegations on Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra are much more 'serious' than the 2005 cash for query scam case, in which 11 Members of Parliament were suspended. The BJP MP, who wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla alleging that Ms Moitra took bribes from Dubai-based businessman Hiranandani to raise questions in parliament, said that MPs have been suspended in the past for asking questions for Rs 10,000 in parliament.
"MPs have been suspended in the Parliament for asking questions for Rs 10,000. This (Moitra's case) is a more serious matter than that," Mr Dubey said while speaking to reporters in Gwalior.
