5 Rajya Sabha MPs claimed that their “forged signatures” were added to proposed select committee on Delhi Services Bill without their consent by Raghav Chadha.
Raghav Chadha found himself in the middle of a big controversy as five Rajya Sabha MPs on Monday demanded to move a Privilege Motion against the Aam Aadmi Party MP alleging that their “forged signatures” were added to the proposed select committee on the Delhi Services Bill without their consent.
Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh announced a probe into the complaints. The select committee was proposed by Raghav Chadha in the Upper House to examine the bill.
Responding to the allegations, Chadha said, “Let a privilege committee send me a notice. I will give my answer to the committee.”
Chadha’s amendment to send the contentious bill to a select committee was negated by a voice vote. The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 seeks to replace an ordinance on the handling of transfers and postings of officials in the Delhi government.
Five MPs, who claimed their names were listed in the proposed select committee without their consent, are S Phangnon Konyak, Narhari Amin and Sudhanshu Trivedi of the BJP, M Thambidurai of the AIADMK and Sasmit Patra of the BJD.
