New Delhi, July 22: The dramatic scenes of a BJP MP bringing in bundles of currency in the Lok Sabha alleging bribery brought back memories of similar incident in the mid-80s when an AIADMK MP opened a suitcase with Rs two lakh in the House.

R Soundarajan shocked the House when he alleged that he was offered the money to change sides in the wake of split in the party after the death of MGR.

The money was later handed over to the police and a case was filed. Another action that created flutter in the House was the late Madhu Dandavate displaying an unloaded pistol to show how lax the security was. Later, he apologised.
