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.
