Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar revealed that a wad of cash was recovered from seat no. 222, allotted to Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, during routine security checks. This claim sparked uproar among Congress MPs, with Mallikarjun Kharge opposing the mention of Singhvi’s name without an investigation. Singhvi denied the allegation, stating he carried only a ₹500 note and welcomed a probe. Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju and JP Nadda called for a thorough investigation, deeming the incident an attack on the dignity of the House. The discovery has heightened tensions between the government and opposition in Parliament.
