Friday’s winter session of parliament also caused uproar. First, opposition MPs protested over Gautam Adani and constitutional issues. Opposition lawmakers arrived wearing black masks. Later, Union House Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said a bundle of banknotes was found on the seat. The sweepers found the package in seat number 222, which has been allotted to Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi. After that, there was an uproar in the house. The chairman said a stack of 500 rupee notes appeared to contain 100 rupee notes. He also said it was unclear whether the banknotes were genuine or fake.
Congress said the chairman should not reveal whose seat the money was found. The Chairman should investigate this matter and find out the truth. Congress said the chairman can have the NIA, Delhi Police or any other agency conduct the investigation as per his convenience. Opposition leaders also claimed that the government deliberately concocted the story about the currency notes to divert attention from the Adani issue. Meanwhile, House leader JP Nadda claimed that the opposition was showing seriousness on certain issues while trying to gloss over others.
What did Abhishek Manu Singhvi say?
“I am surprised, I have never heard of such a thing,” said senior lawyer and MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi. I went to the House at 12:57 pm on Thursday, The meeting adjourned at 1 p.m. Then I had lunch with Ayodhya Rami Reddy (Member of Parliament) in the canteen and left the Parliament House at 1.30 pm. He said he was inside the parliament building for three minutes and in the canteen for half an hour. The senior advocate said it was ridiculous to be political on such issues. He later took to the social media platform “X” The post said that every time he went to the House, he only had a Rs 500 note.
What are the rules?
Although all leaders make a fuss when given a pile of notes, there are no rules. Any member can enter the House with the money they want. There are also food stores and banks in the Capitol building. Many leaders continued to withdraw funds from this bank. In this case, it is not against the rules to carry a note in Parliament. However, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said: “Today is the digital age and no one carries so many notes. Chairman Danka also expressed surprise that no one claimed the money. He said he hoped someone would claim the notes but for now No one claimed them. “Is that a reflection of the economy that people may have forgotten about (the bundle of notes)? ”
When a BJP leader throws a wad of currency notes
Angered by the fact that the UPA government led by Manmohan Singh signed a nuclear deal with the United States, left-wing parties withdrew their support from the UPA government. The trust motion was moved in the House on the same day that three BJP MPs – Ashok Argal, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Bagga Mahavir Bhagaura submitted Rs 1 crore to the Lok Sabha. The three threw the currency notes into the House and said they had been offered money by then Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh and Congress MP Ahmed Patel to vote in favor of the trust motion. Opposition leader Lal Krishna Advani said the MPs were bribed to the tune of Rs 3 crore each. One crore rupees had been donated earlier and the remaining amount was assured to be donated later. However, Amar Singh and Ahmed Patel denied the allegations. Delhi Police registered the case based on a complaint by Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee.
