Lok Sabha Secretariat on Monday said Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, senior BJP leaders L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj and two other MPs have submitted details of their assets to it.
The clarification came in the wake of an RTI reply which had said Advani and Swaraj were among 401 Lok Sabha members who had not declared their assets and liability details to the Secretariat as on September 26.
“It is clarified that information regarding assets and liabilities under the Members of Lok Sabha (Declaration of Assets and Liabilities) Rules, 2004 have been received by the Secretariat from Sumitra Mahajan, Speaker, Lok Sabha, L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Ramen Deka and Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, MPs,” a statement issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat said.
According to the Members of the Lok Sabha Declaration of Assets Rules 2004, a member is required to declare assets within 90 days of taking oath.
