Chairman of the Rajya Sabha M.Venkaiah Naidu today corrected the House records to State that a Bill to amend the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, which was taken up yesterday, has not been passed by the Lok Sabha yet. This happened after Sukhendu Shekhar Roy of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) raised the issue through a point of order, saying Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien should recall his statement of Wednesday, in which he had said that the Bill he had allowed the Minister to move had been passed by the Lok Sabha and transmitted to the House. Mr. Roy said the order had been passed by the Chair on Wednesday under a wrong premise.
