Saugata Roy (TMC) strongly protested the Speaker's decision, saying it was a 'unilateral decision' and if it becomes a practice, then anybody will do a sting against members and inquiry would be ordered on such 'unverified' contents.
Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Wednesday referred the issue of alleged bribery involving TMC MPs to Ethics Committee for investigation and report.
The Lower House witnessed another stormy session after the Left members cornered Trinamool Congress demanding a thorough investigation in the sting operation.
Saugata Roy (TMC) strongly protested the Speaker's decision, saying it was a 'unilateral decision' and if it becomes a practice, then anybody will do a sting against members and inquiry would be ordered on such 'unverified' contents.
However, he also said he had full respect for Advani and added that the veteran BJP member will be fair.
An ethics committee in 2005 had terminated the membership of 11 MPs, 10 from the Lok Sabha and one from the Rajya Sabha, after finding them guilty after a sting operation allegedly showing them accepting bribes to help fictitious private firms.
Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi had on Tuesday said the poll panel will examine the video of the purported sting operation carried out by a news portal and pass it on to the relevant authorities.
Three West Bengal ministers, some MPs and MLAs allegedly accepted bribes from a fictitious import-export company, according to a news portal 'sting' operation but the TMC dismissed the video tape as 'doctored'.
The news portal, Narada News, released the tape of the operation which it claimed to have conducted over the last two years, just a month ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections.
However, Dubbing the sting operation by a news portal as "manufactured", TMC is accusing its detractors of hatching a "political conspiracy" ahead of the Assembly elections.
