New Delhi: TMC leader Mahua Moitra has been expelled from LS on Friday following an Ethics Committee report into ‘cash for query’ charges against her.

After a tempestuous discussion and voice vote, Speaker Birla said, ‘This House accepts conclusions of Committee - that MP Mahua Moitra’s conduct was immoral and indecent.
