Raghav Chadha, the Arvind Kejriwal-led government has clarified on Tuesday that the rules of the proceedings state «no written consent or signature of the member whose name has been proposed» and there's no question of any allegation of «forged signature», the AAP sources added. The clarification came after five Rajya Sabha members complained that their names were included in a proposed select committee of the House for the Delhi Services Bill without their signatures, in the proposal moved by Raghav Chadha.

Five MPs, who have raised objections are S Phangnon Konyak, Narhari Amin and Sudhanshu Trivedi of BJP, AIADMK MP M Thambidurai and BJD's Sasmit Patra. «Two members (BJD MP Sasmit Patra and BJP MP Dr Sudhanshu Trivedi) are saying that they have not signed the motion (to be part of select committee) moved by AAP MP Raghav Chadha.

Now it is a matter of investigation how the motion was signed,» said Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Rajya Sabha on Delhi Services Bill. According to the sources of AAP, «The Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Council of States, which has been quoted by Members moving privilege against Raghav Chadha nowhere provides that there is a requirement of written consent or signature of the member whose name has been proposed to be included to the Select Committee.» «No signature is required at all of the proposed members for a select committee reference.

Since no signature is required there is no question of any allegation of 'forged signature' whatsoever,» it further added. The sources further said that the select committees are non-partisan committees comprising members of all major parties.
