Chaos In Rajya Sabha After Cash Found In Congress MP's Seat. He Reacts

Chaos erupted in Rajya Sabha this morning after a bundle of cash was recovered from the seat belonging to a Congress MP. Vice President President President Jagdeep Dhankhar, also the chairman of Rajya Sabha, informed the MPs that the cash was found during the anti-sabotage check after the adjournment of the House yesterday. Mr Dhankhar said the seat was allotted to Abhishek Manu Singhvi, a Congress veteran.

"Apparently, 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.

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge opposed the naming of an MP by the Chair since the matter is under investigation.
