A Bharatiya Janata Party lawmaker has filed a complaint against the Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan for giving false information to Parliament in her affidavit regarding her marital status. An investigation should be launched for her illegal and ethical conduct and appropriate action must be taken against her, said BJP MP Sanghamitra Maurya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BJP MP has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla demanding that the matter be referred to the ethics committee of the House. In the letter, Maurya argued that Nusrat Jahan deliberately provided false information to the Lok Sabha Secretariat, thereby indulging in illegal unethical and immoral conduct. This tantamounts to cheating her electorate by providing deliberate false and misleading information and also bringing bad reputation to Parliament and its honourable MPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maurya, who represents Uttar Pradesh Badaun in the Lok Sabha, further wrote, Nusrat\u2019s media statement regarding her marital status controvert her oath for Lok Sabha membership wherein she took oath as Nusrat Jahan Ruhi Jain. This effectively renders her membership as non-est in law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes in after Nusrat recently released a statement saying that her marriage with estranged partner Nikhil Jain was null and void as it was in a foreign country where no registration was done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since an inter-faith marriage requires registration in India, which wasn\u2019t done, it clearly meant that it was not a marriage and was instead a \u201clive-in\u201d relationship so the case of divorce did not arise, the TMC leader had said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
