**New Delhi:** A bundle of cash was discovered under the Rajya Sabha seat of Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, triggering a political firestorm on Friday. The incident, revealed during a routine anti-sabotage sweep, has led to accusations of impropriety and calls for a thorough investigation.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar informed the house that the cash was found beneath seat number 222, currently assigned to Singhvi, who represents Telangana. Dhankhar stated that an investigation is underway.
BJP MPs Sudhanshu Trivedi and Manoj Tiwari were quick to criticize the Congress, questioning the source of the money and alleging a lack of accountability. Trivedi sarcastically remarked that Congress leaders seem to be so flush with cash they don’t even notice money left on their seats. Tiwari echoed the calls for a transparent investigation, expressing surprise at the discovery.
Singhvi, responding to the accusations, expressed his astonishment at the incident, claiming he was in the Rajya Sabha for only three minutes and spent half an hour in the canteen before leaving parliament. He dismissed the matter as a politically motivated attack and insisted on a full investigation into how the cash ended up under his seat.
The incident has ignited a heated debate in Parliament, with the opposition BJP demanding answers from the Congress party. The investigation’s findings are awaited with keen interest.
