New Delhi: A new controversy has seized Parliament. Move over Quattrocchi and Mulayam Singh Yadav, it's now MP Moni Kumar Subba and his dubious nationality's turn to take the hot seat.

The Opposition is demanding that M K Subba be sacked after CNN-IBN's Special Investigation revealed on Tuesday how he lied about his nationality to be where he is - a Congress MP from Tezpur, Assam.

What's more, not only did he lie about his place of birth, date of birth and education many times over, CNN-IBN also found out that there was a deliberate attempt to cover up all the recorded evidence of his Nepali Nationality. Subba, of course, has refuted everything revealed saying that he will file a defamation case in the Supreme Court against CNN-IBN.

The big question asked on CNN-IBN's Face The Nation was: Should Parliament take action against M K Subba?

To answer the question on the panel of experts were the man who urged the Parliament to act against Subba on Wednesday, Trinamool Congress MP, Dinesh Trivedi; and CPI-M MP, Mohammad Salim.

CPI-M is an ally of the UPA at the Centre. No one from the Congress was there on the panel as the party has gone completely silent publicly, but privately, is embarrassed at these developments.

What should be the course of action now?

Dinesh Trivedi raised the issue in Parliament on Wednesday, so what does he feel should be done now?

"When I raised the issue, I was told that Subba is a member of the Lok Sabha, so I was told that I cannot raise the issue in Rajya Sabha. So I said the other house is a part of the country and that we are talking about the security of the country. Very honestly, it is shocking and unbelievable. I still don't believe that this can happen in independent India," he said.
