Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu said on Friday that members have a wrong notion that they have privilege from action by investigating agencies while the session is on.
The Congress has been protesting against the alleged misuse of Central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Income Tax Department by the government to “frame” political rivals.
A day ago, Congress members forced adjournments in the Upper House when Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said he had received a summon from the ED to appear before the agency even while the House was in session.
