Perhaps this is the first time in the history of the Parliament that a wad of currency notes was found on the seat of a member. It was found on the seat of a Congress MP who is also a popular lawyer.
Ruckus erupted in Rajya Sabha this morning after a bundle of cash was found on the seat allotted to Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who reacted with a blow-by-blow account of his time in the House the previous day.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, also the chairman of Rajya Sabha,informed the MPs that security officials found the cash during the anti-sabotage check after the adjournment of the House yesterday.
“A wad of currency notes was recovered by the security officials from seat number 222 which is presently allotted to Abhishek Manu Singhvi,elected from the state of Telangana,” said Mr Dhankhar, adding that the matter is being probed.
It has to be seen on the recording of the cameras as who dropped the bundle of currency notes in the Rajya Sabha on his seat.
