India, Oct. 3 -- Trinamool Congress (TMC) lawmaker Mahua Moitra has been included in the parliamentary standing committee on defence, over a year after she sought to shift out Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member Nishikant Dubey-led House information technology (IT) panel.

Dubey was instrumental in Moitra's expulsion from the Lok Sabha in 2023. He wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla in September 2023, based on lawyer Jay Anand Dehradai's complaint that she allegedly accepted money and favours to ask questions in Parliament.

Moitra allegedly shared her password with outsiders. She denied the charges that she received gifts, and asked other parliamentarians if they had ever shared their passwords.
