‘Diversionary tactic’: Jairam Ramesh on cash at Abhishek Manu Singhvi's seat, slams BJP

Hindustan Times  

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday termed the recovery of currency notes from a seat allotted to party colleague Abhishek Manu Singhvi in the Rajya Sabha as a ‘diversionary tactic’ by the Bharatiya Janata Party to distract the public and stall discussions on important issues in Parliament. Earlier today, Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar informed the House that security officials had found a wad of cash on a seat allotted to Abhishek Manu Singhvi. 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,” said Dhankhar. Following the allegations, Congress party sources believed that currency notes recovered from the bench of party leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi was a “ploy to distract attention” from the Adani issue.
