MPs will also not be able to carry placards with them during the monsoon session. In the new advisory issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat, it has been said that any kind of literature, pamphlets, questionnaires, press notes, leaflets along with any kind of published material are prohibited inside the House. Keep in mind that MPs have been using placards before going from their seats or going to the well to express their anger. Many times he has been tearing them and throwing them towards the chair of the chairman.
Earlier, after the list of words included in the unparliamentary word 2021 issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat, now a decree came about the protest in the Parliament House complex. It has been said in the Parliamentary Bulletin that dharna, demonstration, hunger strike or any kind of religious event will be prohibited in the Parliament House Complex. The opposition has raised questions on this decision of the government.
Taking part in the discussion in both the Houses of Parliament, now talking about banning the use of words like Jumlajivi, Bal Buddhi MP, Shakuni, Jaichand, Lollipop, Chandal Quartet, Gul Khilaye, Pithu. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla says that there should be no confusion in the country. No word is banned. The Lok Sabha Secretariat has stopped the use of certain words which were not in consonance with the dignity of democracy.
On the other hand, the Congress has taken a jibe by banning the demonstration in the Parliament House complex. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh wrote in a tweet that the new salute of Vishwa Guru is forbidden. On this tweet, TMC MP Derek O’Brien said that every year these notices are issued in the Parliamentary Bulletin. Demonstrations, dharnas, strikes, fasts are part of legitimate parliamentary strategy to register protest. No one is stopping us. However, can you please update me. Has anyone not organized any religious function recently?
BJP took a scathing remark on Jairam Ramesh’s tweet saying that such orders were issued even when he was a minister during the UPA regime. Amit Malviya, the chief of BJP’s IT cell, shared a circular of 2013, 2014 and asked that he should first tell about his decisions, why this was done?
