New Delhi: Lok Sabha Secretary General Snehlata Shrivastava made a faux pas Monday by calling out the name of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to take oath as a member of the Lower House — when he is a Rajya Sabha member.

Shrivastava apologised immediately, and then asked Prahlad Joshi for oath taking.
