‘Don’t use Fake Degree wala …’: TMC’s Mahua Moitra hits back after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey claims her parliamentary login ID used from Dubai | India News

NEW DELHI: A fresh war of words erupted between Lok Sabha MPs Nishikant Dubey and Mahua Moitra on Saturday amid the ongoing cash-for-query row involving the TMC lawmaker.
In a post on X earlier, Dubey alleged that Moitra was in India when her parliamentary ID was used in Dubai and claimed that the National Informatics Centre (NIC) has disclosed the information to probe agencies.

“The MP’s ID was opened from Dubai when the so-called parliamentarian was in India. The entire Indian government, including the prime minister, finance department and central agencies, uses this NIC,” the BJP MP said.

Without directly naming her, Dubey said that “an MP pawned the country’s security for some money.”
The BJP leader has accused Mahua of accepting bribes and favours for asking questions in Lok Sabha at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Hours later, Mahua hit back at Dubey’s charges in a series of posts and requested NIC to release all the details of MPs publicly to show that they were “physically present” whenever their IDs were accessed by their PAs and researchers/interns/staff.

“Request NIC to please release ALL details of MPs publicly to show they were physically present in place from where IDs were accessed by their PAs & researchers/interns/staff. Don’t use Fake Degree wala for leak, make this public NOW,” she said.
Mahua has often targeted Dubey over allegations that he submitted a fake degree in his election nomination papers.
Stepping up her attack on Adani, Mahua said that SEBI is unable to find the origin of foreign money that was poured into the billionaire’s entities which is the “real question of national security”.
“This is the real question of National security. Not email ID that every PA & every unchecked intern team of every MP has publicly & accesses at will,” she wrote on X.

Directly targeting Adani, Mahua said that she is not going to “take any deal” to not target him.
“Sorry Mr. Adani. I am not taking your deal to shut up for six months in return for ‘peace’. And nor am I taking the second deal where I am allowed to attack you but not the PM. Adani used to CASH TO NOT QUESTION. Now he is forced to create a fake CASH FOR QUESTIONS,” she said.

Mahua added that she also got a message about an impending CBI raid at her house, adding that she is busy with Durga Puja. “I invite CBI to come home & count my pairs of shoes. But first please file FiR into ₹13,000 crore coal money Adani stole from Indians,” she said.

Recently, in a signed affidavit submitted to the Lok Sabha committee which is probing charges against Mahua, businessman Hiranandani admitted to using the TMC MP’s parliamentary login to ask questions targeting Adani.
This was after the state-owned behemoth Indian Oil Corporation booked capacity at the Gujarat-based conglomerate’s Dhamra LNG import facility in Odisha and not at his firm’s planned facility.
Moitra, whose party has kept quiet on the issue, has remained combative and continued to attack the Adani Group and Dubey, dismissing the allegations against her.
“Adani may use BJP agencies to browbeat competition and buy airports but just try doing it with me,” she had said on October 15 after the allegations surfaced.
