Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar administered the oath of office to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh for his re-election to the Upper House from Delhi, marking his second term in office.

 

The ceremony took place in Dhankhar's office at Parliament House, with Singh's family members present, including his mother, father, wife, son, and daughter.

 

In a post on X, the Vice-President of India and Rajya Sabha Chairman shared pictures of the oath-taking ceremony, highlighting Singh's reaffirmation of his commitment to serve as a Member of Parliament.

 

Despite being lodged in Tihar jail, Singh was escorted under tight security to Parliament House, following the directive of a local court. The court ordered the Jail Superintendent to ensure Singh's safe transportation to Parliament for the oath-taking ceremony and his subsequent return to the jail premises.

 

Singh's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now-defunct Delhi excise policy case has kept him in judicial custody.

 

Despite facing legal challenges, Singh's reelection to the Rajya Sabha underscores his continued political engagement and commitment to public service.

 

The oath-taking ceremony symbolizes Singh's unwavering dedication to representing the people of Delhi in the highest legislative body of the country. Despite the challenges he faces, Singh remains steadfast in his resolve to fulfill his duties as a parliamentarian and advocate for the interests of his constituents.

 

As Singh embarks on his second term in the Rajya Sabha, his commitment to upholding the principles of democracy and serving the people remains undeterred.

 

His presence in Parliament, despite being incarcerated, serves as a testament to the resilience of democratic institutions and the importance of political representation in governance.
