On Rule-Breaking In Rajya Sabha, Deputy Chairman Sets "Record Straight"

Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Singh has denied media reports that rules were violated during voting on the farm bills on September 20. In a note to the media, Mr Singh said he would like to "put the facts straight" and enclosed minute-by minute details of events and video footage of relevant portions -- during motions by CPM's KK Ragesh and DMK's Tiruchy Siva. The call for physical voting by both members was negated and their motions were turned down after a voice vote.
