With presidential endorsement on Election Commission?s opinion on office of profit case against BJP MP Krishna Murari Moghe coming on Thursday, he ceases to be a member of the Lok Sabha.

The decision came in the backdrop of allegation against Moghe that he held a post with the status of cabinet minister in Madhya Pradesh.

The Commission had sent its opinion to President APJ Kalam last month, recommending the disqualification of Moghe.

Under the provisions of the Constitution, Kalam had earlier referred to the poll panel a petition seeking the disqualification of Moghe, the MP representing Khargone constituency in Madhya Pradesh.

Congress MLA Jamuna Devi, who had petitioned the President, alleged that Moghe was holding an office of profit in his capacity as head of the state parliamentary group with cabinet minister?s status.
