New Delhi, Dec 6: The upper house witnessed chaos after Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday informed the house that a wad of cash was found on a seat belonging to Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi by security officials.

"I hereby inform the members that during the routine anti-sabotage check of the chamber after the adjournment of the House yesterday. 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..The matter was brought to my notice, and I made sure an investigation takes place and the same is underway," Dhankhar said.

Responding to the RS Chairman's statement, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that he was "astonished" to hear this, and added that if there is a failing in the security agencies that must also be completely exposed.

Congress President and LoP in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said that the Chair should not have named the MP if the matter was under investigation.

"I am not going beyond that, I know that you will not allow us. You said that this matter is under investigation then his/her name should not have been taken. I request that until the investigation is done and the authenticity of the incident is established, a member should not be named," Kharge said.

Dhankar replied to Kharge and said "The Leader of the Opposition has said one thing that when the matter is under investigation he should not be making debate of it. I would really appreciate and this may be followed.”
