Opposition members of the Lok Sabha ethics committee walked out of a panel meeting on Thursday, accusing its chairperson of asking personal and unethical questions to Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra.

Moitra appeared before the committee headed by BJP MP Vinod Kumar Sonkar over the cash-for-query allegations.

"We found the ethics committee chairperson's questions to Moitra undignified and unethical," Congress MP and panel member N. Uttam Kumar Reddy told reporters.

The opposition members also questioned the manner in which the meeting was conducted.
