New Delhi [India], December 7 : Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay on Thursday asserted that the Committee report regarding TMC MP Mahua Moitra's alleged cash-for-query case will be tabled tomorrow.

Bahujan Samaj Party MP Danish Ali expressed anticipation that Mahua Moitra's case will be discussed in the Lok Sabha tomorrow. He further emphasized the importance of allowing a thorough and constructive discussion on the matter in Lok Sabha.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Dilip Ghosh said that everything will be done according to the procedure of the Parliament.
Notably, Nishikant Dubey had written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla against Moitra, accusing her of asking questions in Lok Sabha to target the Adani Group at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for gifts. However, several leaders of the opposition, including Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Danish Ali and Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has opposed the report.
