"My Kind-Heartedness Isn't...": Speaker Warns As Opposition Shows Placards

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's warning came after opposition MPs, protesting against price rise, shouted slogans and held placards inside the house questioning the government on what they claimed was runaway inflation

A visibly upset Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today warned opposition MPs to behave and not show placard in the house.

The Speaker's warning came after opposition MPs, protesting against price rise, shouted slogans and held placards questioning the government on what they claimed was runaway inflation.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi requested the Speaker to disqualify MPs who are holding placards inside the house. Some of the protesting MPs came to the well of the house after 3 pm, despite the Speaker's warning earlier, which led to adjournment till 3 pm.

"The people of the country want the house to run. But it can't run like this. I will not allow such a situation to remain in the house," Mr Birla said.
