The three BJP MPs who had alleged that huge sums were offered to them to save Manmohan Singh government during the trust vote are sought to be hauled up for contempt of the House.
Ashok Argal, Fagan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Bhagora are also being accused of breach of privilege of the Lok Sabha.
Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee is understood to have referred to the Privileges Committee the issue of placing the wads of currency notes on the table of the House by three BJP MPs that created a flutter.
The move comes in the backdrop of complaints from Congress MP Madhusudan Mistry and Samajwadi Party MP Mohan Singh that the act of the three BJP MPs was amounted to contempt of the House and breach of its privilege.
The Committee will record the evidence of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party MPs as also the three BJP MPs.
Meanwhile, the Enquiry Committee constituted by the Speaker to go into the issue of whether the three BJP MPs were offered money has submitted its report to the Speaker.
The Committee, headed by senior Congress MP V Kishore Chandra Deo, is likely to place the report on the table of the House on December 10 when the House meets.

This is another exmaple of Emergency rule. Somnath has sold himself. Instead of taking actions against Amar Singh and Ahmed Patel it was sad to see that action is initiated against the whistle blower. Sad day for India Democracy.
no good should be expected from bjp. bjp's intention is to bring down Indian parliamentry system. bjp has nothing like patriotism. They show their 'nautankee' to whole the world. They(bjp MPs) are money hungry. They were jealous of Ahmed Patel's reputation as a 'CLEAN' politician. T/Ffore, they name Ahmed Patel. They were also afraid of Amersinh's fight against 'bjp's communalism'
You can not be a 'real bharatiya' as you claim to be. How can such an ignorant person do anything useful to the country, other than supporting the party which ruled 60 years and has completely broken the country? It is because of people like you Bharat is in such a pathetic condition. Do a favour and please do NOT cast your vote in coming election. We know who you will cast your vote, to completely destroy the country.
mr. indian, the biggest work cong did during its 60 years rule was to keep India united. bjp rulled in some states
Congress, please ban BJP/VHP/Bajrang Dal and Hinduism. Declare India an Islamic state. You will surely get all the votes from the minorities, sorry, from the 'secular' community.
