Ministers should respond to questions precisely and in appropriate manner: Speaker Om Birla

He also suggested the Ministers to come prepared to the House

Expressing his displeasure over during the Question Hour, Speaker Om Birla on Thursday suggested they should respond to the queries precisely and come well prepared to the House.

During the Question Hour, while responding to one of the questions, Minister of State for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises B.P. Verma took some time to find the reply for supplementary questions, so Mr. Birla said, "You keep on arranging and looking into your papers, you are done with a reply."

Similarly, when Union Power Minister R.K. Singh, while replying to a supplementary question, said the matter has been referred to the government, the Speaker instantly pointed to the Minister and said, "Who is the government if you are not?" Mr. Birla suggested that the Ministers should respond to the questions in a precise and appropriate manner, besides coming prepared to the House.
