Trinamool Congress leader and former Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra is likely to skip the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons in a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) contravention case on Monday (February 19), according to sources.
The probe agency has asked the 49-year-old politician to depose before its headquarters in Delhi today for questioning in the FEMA violation case.
The TMC leader, who was expelled from the Lok Sabha in December last year, is being probed by the CBI too, which is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the allegations against Moitra on the reference from the Lokpal.
Allegations Against Mahua Moitra
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had accused Moitra of asking questions in the Lok Sabha to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for gifts.
He had also accused Moitra of compromising national security for monetary gains. On December 8, 2023, Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha over the issue.
Moitra has denied any wrongdoing and claimed she was being targeted as she had raised questions on the deals of the Adani Group.
“Neither has Lok Pal uploaded any referral order on website as per Lokpal Act & nor has CBI put out anything official. ‘Sources’ telling journos as per usual media circus. Hope Rs 13,000 crore Adani coal scam merits CBI PE before my witchhunt,” Moitra had said on X in November.
