BJP MP Bhupender Yadav on Thursday sought an explanation from former Union Minister P Chidambaram on media reports about a copy of a classified CBI report having been recovered from his residence.
Yadav raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha during the debate on the Budget, immediately after Chidambaram finished his speech.
The Pioneer had on Thursday reported about the CBI starting an internal probe after its classified report that was meant for submission in the Supreme Court was recovered from Chidambaram's residence during raids by the agency last month.
Yadav said Chidambaram owed an explanation as he had held crucial portfolios during the UPA regime.
As soon as he made the remarks, Congress members trooped in the Well raising anti-Modi and anti-Government slogans, while its leaders like Anand Sharma demanded expunction of Yadav's statement saying he had made personal allegations which should not go into the records. CPI(M) leader T K Rangarajan, who was in the Chair, said he would check the records and decide.
During Yadav's entire speech, the Congress members continued to vociferously raise slogans from the Well.
