Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today expressed concern over "continuous disruption" of proceedings and "lack of decorum" in Parliament and state legislatures, and noted dissidence should not lead to impasse.
Calling obstruction of proceedings ethically and constitutionally wrong, he said, it was even more disturbing when such disruptions are pre-planned.
Addressing the Assam Assembly, Mr Birla said, "Democracy is based on debates and dialogue. But continuous disruption of debates in the House and lack of decorum is a matter of concern." While it is natural for treasury and opposition benches to disagree, "dissidence should not lead to impasse", he added.
