UPA wins trust vote

UPA government on Tuesday, won the trust vote even though opposition lawmakers dramatically interrupted the session to wave wads of cash they said were offered as bribes to abstain.

Earlier, the proceedings were thrown into confusion after opposition MPs interrupted proceedings by brandishing wads of cash, forcing the Speaker to adjourn proceedings at the last minute.

BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani said this was an "important event for the House" and had to be taken seriously. But after a cross-party meeting, he said the vote should go ahead.
