The oath-taking ceremony of radical Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh and Kashmiri leader Sheikh Abdul Rashid or Engineer Rashid in the Lok Sabha on Friday was kept away from the media glare.

Even pictures were not shared. The staff and officials in Parliament House were not allowed to come out of their offices when the two were brought to the House, it is learnt. Both Rashid and Singh were brought separately under heavy security and the area was cordoned off. Rashid was out on a two-hour custody parole from Tihar jail, while Singh, who is in Dibrugarh jail, was granted four days.

TDP Address

Immediately after the announcement of Lok Sabha results, the government bungalow — 50, Ashoka Road — had become the centre of activity as TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu stayed there during his time in New Delhi.

This bungalow, at that time, was the official residence of former TDP MP Jayadev Galla. He did not contest the recent Lok Sabha elections and is learnt to have vacated it.

However, even after his departure, the residence remains a focal point for TDP activities, with Naidu again choosing to stay there during his current visit to the national capital. Sources say it is likely to be allocated to a senior TDP MP.

Add-on Amenities
