Bundle of Currency Notes Found at Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s Seat in Rajya Sabha: Probe Ordered
In a surprising turn of events, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar announced that a bundle of currency notes was discovered from seat number 222, currently assigned to Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi. The discovery was made during a routine anti-sabotage check conducted after the House was adjourned on Thursday.
The Discovery
Chairman Dhankhar informed the House that the wad of currency notes was found by security officials during their routine checks. “The matter was brought to my notice, and I ensured an investigation was initiated. The inquiry is currently underway,” Dhankhar stated.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s Response
Reacting to the discovery, Abhishek Manu Singhvi expressed his astonishment and denied any involvement. “I carry only one ₹500 note when I go to the Rajya Sabha. I heard about this for the first time,” Abhishek Manu Singhvi said. He detailed his brief presence in the chamber, stating that he arrived at 12:57 PM and the proceedings were adjourned at 1 PM. He then spent time in the canteen until 1:30 PM before leaving the Parliament.
Political Reactions
The announcement led to an uproar in the Rajya Sabha, with opposition leaders questioning the timing and manner of the disclosure. Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge urged the Chairman not to name the member until the investigation is completed. “Until the investigation is done and the authenticity of the incident is established, a member should not be named,” Kharge said.
Call for Investigation
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju supported the need for a thorough investigation, stating that carrying bundles of notes in the House is inappropriate. “There should be a serious investigation into the matter. The Chairman has rightly pointed out the seat number and the member who occupies that particular seat number,” Rijiju said.
Conclusion
As the investigation unfolds, the incident has sparked a debate on security protocols and the conduct of members within the Parliament. The outcome of the probe will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for parliamentary decorum and accountability.
