“I’m hearing about this for the first time,” said Congress MP and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, dismissing any prior knowledge of the issue. “I carry a single ₹500 note when I visit the Rajya Sabha. On the day in question, I entered the House at 12:57 PM, and it adjourned at 1:00 PM. Afterward, I stayed in the canteen until 1:30 PM before leaving the Parliament premises,” he explained.
