New Delhi:
Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra, who was expelled from Lok Sabha last month of unethical conduct, will vacate her government bungalow today. The Bengal MP had received an eviction notice earlier this week ordering her to vacate the bungalow immediately.
In a strongly-worded eviction notice, the Centre asked Ms Moitra to immediately vacate the bungalow. The notice by the Directorate of Estates, which manages government properties, stated that if Ms Moitra does not vacate the premises on her own, she and any other occupant “are liable to be evicted from the said premises, if need be, by the use of such force as may be necessary”.
The government in its notice said Ms Moitra had been “allowed sufficient opportunity” but she failed to prove that she is not an unauthorised occupant.
Mahua Moitra was held guilty of “unethical conduct” and expelled from Lok Sabha on December 8 last year for allegedly accepting gifts from businessman Darshan Hiranandani and sharing her user ID and password of the Parliament website with him.
