Nishikant Dubey, Lok Sabha MP from Jharkhand's Godda, had slammed the Supreme Court ruling prescribing a timeline for the President to decide on pending bills.
Dubey's post came just hours after India neutralised Pakistan military's attempt to hit military stations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur and some other locations with missiles and drones.
These remarks were triggered by Dubey’s incendiary statement suggesting that Parliament and state assemblies should be dissolved if the Supreme Court is to make all decisions.
The Godda MP claimed the USAID funded organisations carried out protests against the Agniveer initiative of the government, backed caste census, and supported naxalism in the country.
In a letter to committee chairperson Jagdambika Pal, Dubey urged an investigation into the sources of these submissions, pointing to the possible roles of external influences like Pakistan’s ISI, China, and individuals such as Zakir Naik.

Gopal Shankaranarayanan withdrew from the case after Jai Dehadrai told the high court that the senior counsel had called him the previous evening and tried to mediate between him and the TMC MP
Adani Group, which had so far not made any direct attack on Moitra, in the statement referred to the complaints by Dubey and Dehadrai to say that they "corroborate" the conglomerate's previous statements that "some groups and individuals have been working overtime to harm our name, goodwill and market standing."
The allegation against Moitra by Dubey is that she purportedly asked questions in Parliament in exchange for gifts and cash from the Hiranandani group
